You guys think it's over? That was scary. [ Like, really, really scary, but she found a bit of inner strength. Plus, a few new acquaintances. Plus, if she focuses on little things like that, she won't be overwhelmed by how terrifying this universe really is. So, after taking time to fix her hair and look relatively presentable, she's addressing both courts. ]

I just wanted to know if everyone was okay--I mean, not just in seelie, but everyone. It was kind of nice, being united together to work on that whole thing. I just wish the end wasn't so terrifying.

Right! So, I wanted to bring up a few things. Everyone has a shard in us, right? And sometimes when people disappear they leave their shards, but what are the shards a greater part of? A big crystal, or jewel? Where is it? Why do we have them, anyway?

Oh, and also, does anyone around the Seelie court know about herbs and stuff? I only know about tea, not about mending people, and I'd really like to do that better. I'll work really hard, promise! Even if you can only teach me like, 20 minutes every day, I'll study really well.

I am fine, are you unharmed, Kelsi?

[ The young composer is one of Sif's people now so she's just going to have to get used to being looked after because that is pretty much what Sif does.

She's not quite as fine as she's saying, but she'll get over it. She's gotten over all the stuff that the dogs dragged up from her mind before, she can do it again.

Kelsi might have caught the network show about it though so if she has any questions... well, Sif might answer them. (cw: violence, death) ]

For a boon, I was granted the saved pages of a text concerning the Drabwurld's history.

[For a moment he stops in dictating - yes, all of that was scary, and on his own part, no, he's not quite fine - shaken up, in a couple of places, and therefore distracted, but. Carrying on.]

It included the history of the shards, if you would like me to tell it to you as it was described.

You can learn about herbs well enough on your own. Twenty minutes a day of someone's time is a lot to ask for with nothing in return.

[ She's only this stern in order to help the clearly younger woman. ]

I never pay much attention whenever Raff goes on about his plants. If you find anyone even a little like him, I'd be prepared for them to drone on about rare flowers of which you've never heard for hours. You seem to have held it together well through all that, though—you're unhurt?

[ she has a thank you to give! ]

I will help you when I return to the caer. My knowledge is not as extensive as a druid healer's is, but there is much to share.

I can assist you with your interest in learning more about herbs and healing. My father is a great healer, as are many of the others that have been drawn here.

[Herself included, though she won't say it. Instead, she just gives the girl a soft smile.]

Perhaps you could help me with something in return. I have been meaning to see what healing properties the wild plants of this land hold in comparison to the ones from home. It would take quite a bit of time, but it would be a great opportunity for you to learn.

Yes please! ♥

Do you want to meet up somewhere?

Little bit more worried about you, if you want me to be honest. You don't look too good.

[ Yeah, she saw it. She saw it and proceeded to freak out a little bit. ]

Wh--I can do things! [ Oh no, Rin, you've tapped into one of her biggest insecurities right away. For a moment she looks a little panicked, like how she was in the beginning of high school before she found her place and her friends. ]

[ Sorry about that sweetheart. ]

I would never wish for you to be anything but honest. As I said, I am fine.

[ She's really not though. She's coping but that's not really the same thing, is it? ]

There is no reason for you to worry.

Maybe, but I'm used to that. Ryan likes to talk about dancing all the time, even though I like it sometimes you just zone out and feel like drooling all over your desk with how numbing it is.

[ Maybe a little too descriptive. Oh well--Katsa's talking to her, it's hard not to be perky and enthusiastic. ]

I'm alright. I'm a little excited, to be honest.

Gosh, that would be great! My name's Kelsi, what's yours? [ Zeroing in on her. Sorry, bud, Kelsi sees you as a friend now. Yes, even after just one conversation. ]

Maybe you could help me and then we could find someone who could help both of us with this stuff?

[ she grins ]

I noticed that about him. And I've certainly done that to cope, too. What's so exciting?

Yes! Ma'am. Miss! Miss Arwen. I'd.. I'd really like that.

I'm really good at organizing. I organized the whole ochestra pit and conducted them, so maybe that would help with the herbs?

[ Oops, sorry, but not sorry. She somehow feels obligated in making sure all the other girls her age grow up just right in this warring environment. ]

All right, so why not offer an exchange of goods? If you can do things, offer your services in return for being taught. It isn't as if we all get to attend school here and learn what is appropriate from teachers--no such thing exists in this world.

Even if there's no reason, Sif, I'm still going to worry about you. [ That's ridiculous. >: ]

Do you promise not to tell anyone?

[ ...?? why the secrecy, if its something good? ]

All right, I promise.

I really wish there was a teacher, though. Even Coach Bolton would be acceptable at this rate.

[ Maybe a little mean to Troy's dad, but holy moly, is that a scary guy when he gets mad about basketball. ]

Do you know anything about this? I can trade!

[ She would have to know who Coach Bolton was to determine whether or not they would be an acceptable substitute in the fairy world. She bites her tongue on that (to everyone's surprise) and chooses to address the other thing. ]

I know a lot of things. [ Note how she doesn't specifically answer the question. ]

I suppose that is fair.

[ Said with a bit of a smirk. She worries quite a bit herself after all. ]

Though I would advise you to save it for when there is real need for it. What is it that has you troubled?

[ Regarding herself, she means. ]

[...oh... he totally forgot to ask about why this ordinary high schooler was here

whoops....]

I may actually be bringing several books on herbs up out of the ruins, actually, now that the whole business with those dogs is over and everything seems to have calmed down on that front.

As for the shards, though... that's an intriguing question, and one I wish to know more about. I've heard some things, but not enough to know whether it's true or not.

I'm going to try to do something for the court. On my own--I mean, without Ryan. To show him I can help, too, you know?

[ kelsi rises about five more notches in katsa's estimation. ]

..Yes. [ Like Bitterblue, wanting to find the means to her own protection and not be a burden, to help how she can. And in Katsa's interpretation not having to rely on anyone else so she can make her own decisions whenever she wants. ] And that should be a decision that's entirely in your hands, when you make it. Not for me to tell to anyone if you don't want it.

[ she's still smiling! ]

...What is it you're going to do, though? As long as you're not taking on too much alone before you've reached the higher levels of your potential.

Maybe I could render goods and services to you, if you'll teach me! [ There, see? Problem solved. To Kelsi, anyway. ] I'm really good at organizing, and music, and--well, mostly music--but I can do things like make tea, and heal people a little bit on my own without herbs. I don't know if I could teach you that, though, that was a boon.
