Amycus laughed quietly at her response to his statements, he knew better than to take her lack of communication personally after one of her visions. He glanced at her when she blew her nose into the handkerchief, trying to remember if her nosebleeds had always been as bad as this one.
He heard the shouts coming towards them and instinctively stepped out of the walkway so that his back was against the wall, gently pulling Aurelia with him, he turned her had so that one of her ears was pressed against his chest and placed his hand over the one so that he could block out as much of the noise as he could. "Would you shut up?" he growled after the group as he watched them making their noisy way down the hall.
He waited until they had turned the next corner to look down at Aurelia and gently removed his hand from over her ear. "Sorry," he said quietly. "Are you okay? Do we need to stay here for a minute or two?" he asked, his concern obvious in his voice.
