    It would be a long day, even if the elven quarter was not nearly so packed. Elspeth liked to take her time when permitted, giving each person or patient the care they needed and the empathy they deserved. She wanted to know them as well as her own patients in the Gilded District, wanted to...

    Every time he said it made her heart sing a little louder, a little stronger. It was racing in her chest, beating with the excitement of the moment and just when she thought it might burst, Ollie said those three words any sane girl in her right mind would die to hear from a young man such as...

    Why did hearing her name from his lips sound so nice? They'd kept up their manners for so many years, hearing her name so clearly was something she had wanted for so long from him ... almost as much as that kiss. Elsi. She smiled, eyes closed, drinking it all in. The lingering feel of his...

    Of course, of course, he'd misplaced it on some coral reef or sand dune. He couldn't be expected to keep track of such a thing all the time. Elspeth's eyes remained locked on him, calmly taking him in without any hit of propriety or modicum of restraint. Without anyone here to keep appearances...

    Doc. He kept calling her that and Elspeth felt her cheeks color in a mixture of pride and flattery each time. Would it ever get old? No, probably not. Within no time they were joined by several local elves who, after some encouragement and instruction from the Doctor, moved to help Rhidian...

    Floating and bobbling along with the waves, hand-in-hand with Olvir was certainly not how she'd expected the evening to go but Elspeth would not say she was disappointed in the turn of events. She smirked along with his joking and gloating, loosing a laugh at the proclamation of how he might...

    Laughter carried brightly as he trounced out into the waters, interspersed with a yelp of surprise as they were overtaken by a wave. No sense of panic or concern - she could swim well enough, but with Ollie there it always felt like there was nothing to fear. The waves of turmoil might've...

    "I'm not certain it's appropriate to ask an elf their age..." Elspeth said with a wide-eyed look of thought. Though she hadn't much time to consider such a thing as the driver pulled the cart around into the district square. Rhidian earned himself an appreciative smile, "I have a few helpers...

    "OOP!" her feet had left the ground and with great a flurry of red hair and flying sand she was quite abruptly being locomoted toward the water. Elspeth gasped, cut loose a squawk of surprise, "OLLIE!" and began laugh-shrieking, feet flailing, as he ran. By the time he reached the lapping...

    "Well I hope it is a comfort," Elsi's smile faded somewhat, "there are those that are not trusting of me and I cannot blame them, but I am hopeful one day they will see what I have to offer, all that I have done, and come to appreciate it." As the cart drew up toward the district square and the...

    "Oh, yes of course. I set up a mobile care unit in their district square. It's rather a mixed bag. Some times I am endlessly busy, others it's rather quiet and I spend most of my time speaking to their representatives. I tend to everything I am capable with my setup. Sickness, minor wounds...

    Well that was a smart way to think about things. Elsi's expression brightened once again, "Well if your heart's in it and the knowledge is there, I'd be a fool to turn away willing help.." She'd make no remark on the strapping aspect, though she did quite agree on it. "We'll see how you fare...

    But why would the Academy rush his graduation? That made little sense unless they only saw him as exactly what it seemed his power made him: expendable. Elspeth frowned as she listened, finding that even with how little she really knew about the protocol and operations of the Academy, it seemed...

    His hand found her own quite happy to once more entwine with his, and how natural it felt to do so. Her gaze shifted from the sky, arcing over to his taller self, warmth suffused from her feet and her claimed hand throughout the rest of her body that had nothing to do with the lingering warmth...

    Elspeth's frown persisted. She rather was uncertain on the aspect of magic - destructive magic especially - and its wear and affect upon the body of the wielder. It brought into regular worry the state of her brother, of which did not help that he seemed to be both a magnet and a glutton for...
