Closing her eyes to the pain, she focused more on the words she forms in that song. The soft lilting tone is all but whispered into his hair and against his cheek. Natalia blocked out the sadness and the pain that come with his words. All in such distance from the concept, like it's there on display but not in his hands. Intangible. Outside of his current world.

The sound of his voice encouraged her. It pushed her to keep singing to the end, her body swaying them gently to the rise and fall of the lullaby. When she finished the song, she exhaled in a gust against his hair. It's not a smooth breath, it stuttered and paused at times showing how much it affected her though she tried not to let it show. Biting into her cheek, she can almost feel the coppery tang of broken skin and blood on her tongue.

But it doesn't stop her from humming the tune as her fingers play in his hair.

Finally reaching the end a second time, she convinced herself to move. Pull back and find his eyes quietly. "Remember things as they come, James. Don't force it." Her eyes almost plead for her even if her voice stayed even and calm. "For once... we have time."
