She holds you and doesn't let you go

Watching the harmless figure of the lady covered in robes, passively waiting for the hug, slowly vanished Ella's initial resistance. The more she thought about it the more it sounded like a good trade. Maybe sharing her "lifely vigour" would just mean to help a touch starved person, or to trigger a warm memory for the poor woman that apparently was unable to leave this place known as the Roundtable Hold. The prize for that was an unknown blessing, but it could be something that could greatly aid in her travels.
Decided, she approached cautiously and noticing how Fia's only reaction was to slowly encourage her with her arms, Ella took a breath and finally got on her knees in front of her, inclining her body until Fia softly enveloped her, holding her head against her chest. It felt warm and eerie at the same time, but Ella figured out it might be more related with the awkward position than anything else. Kneeling as she was in front of the bed while Fia was sitting it felt like more than just a friendly hug, Ella felt as someone that received forgiveness after coming back to a place she abandoned, or sharing a bitter farewell with a loved one right before an unavoidable separation.
"I was known as a Deathbed Companion, where I come from. Afer I received the warmth and lifely vigour from a number o champions, I lay with the remains of an exalted noble, to grant him another chance at life. To do so is the purpose of my being. But before I could bear the noble into new life, I was awakened by the guidance of grace, and chased from my birthplace." Fia softly shared while still holding Ella next to her. Ella just listened, understanding the apparent reason this lady was unable to leave the Roundtable Hold, but not her methods. It didn't make sense to her, how could such a passive approach would ever work if the goal was to resurrect someone.
"Pray, be kind. Despite all that, I still wish to be Deathbed Companion. So please, let me hold you like this, as often as it takes." Fia continued, and Ella finally felt something as Fia's grip on her tightened. She trembled with how the grip now seemed to transcend the physical, as if something inside of her she didn't even knew was there materialized with Fia's latest action. More intrigued than scared, Ella decided it was time to break the hug and receive the blessing, but to her chagrin she found her body not responding with the strength she desired. She was moving, but was failing to apply enough strength to break the hold, the result making her look like she was just trembling under Fia's hug even if she couldn't detect any sign of true aggression. Ella kept trying to squirm, relieved that at least Fia didn't say anything else and remained still in that eerie warm hug.
