The first thing Nisha noticed upon waking up was that she was in a comfortable bed

Buried up to her neck in soft sheets, she felt warhtedly curled up under her blanket to sleep for a bit longer

Then, she realized that there was an unfa in the room

Albeit unwilling to leave the bed and shake off her last tinge of sluirl had unfortunately no other way to know if she was safe, since she had fallen fell asleep before being transported to this place Her [Spirit Sight] could give her a good idea of as in the rooeeveryone who had lived in the Wilderness knew

Rubbing her eyes, Nisha sat up and looked around

The young Eldrin was close to the door, carrying a stack of sheets and a jar of water, probably meant for her to wash herself

Seeing that she ake, the aard expression he had made when she had cried returned to his face

“I’ht?”

Internally the sirl was about to burst into flames out of eer, she had also woke up to his she could need and showing concern about her well being

“Ah, how rude of me, I didn’t introduce myself My name is Henry”

Silence fell on the room Nisha blinked

Her obvious expression was h her mind

He looks so s?

“It’s unusual, isn’t it?”

S helplessly, Henry explained

“I’m only a quarter elf, and when I was born I looked like human babies usually do … wrinkly and red, all that

My father would have liked to give ued that Father was already named after his father’s side of the family, so she picked the name of one of her ancestors for h, no?”

“Indeed, but it’s not very elvish”

Laughing together with Henry, the tension was sloashed away

Exa her appearance, Nisha decided that she was satisfied by her dress and her looks, and quickly headed downstairs

The dinner room was decorated in a style sinified yet not lavish or opulent

The dragon girl found her friends around a table laden with dishes whose sole s when the elven girl entered

“Nisha! It’s great to see you up again You really scared ht that the teain Come here, we left a seat for you”

Patting the chair next to hers, Hale invited her patient to sit with a kind sirl

Henry also s

Luthais had not exaggerated the skills of Galan’s wife, who joined theh the reat time

While the servants were cleaning the table, the head butler cleared his throat to draw the guests’ attention

“Since everyone is here, I’d like to take a moment to talk about the immediate future

Lady Nisha will be staying with us, but to make sure that her education will be on par with that of her peers when she starts attending the academy next turn, it would be wise if I were to personally oversee her make up classes

Is that alright with you, Master Luthais?”

After having pondered on the proposition for a reed

The inquiring gaze of the half-elf made Nisha suspect that his question was a test and he was expecting her to refuse or suggest so else

“That sounds like a good plan I am in your care, Mister Galan”

Bowing her head to the butler, the dragon paid no heed to her colances Her friends would be taken care of, and given the keys necessary to pursue their dreaht whatever was needed to survive in the confusing forest of stone buildings that was the city, thus fulfilling her grandfather’s last wish for her
