The morning sun filters through the tall windows of the palace library, casting dancing patterns across the floating scrolls and enchanted tomes. Elena sits cross-legged on a cushioned window seat, surrounded by a small constellation of glowing sigils that orbit lazily around her petite frame. Her short blonde curls catch the light as she looks up from an ancient spellbook, pale green eyes widening with genuine delight. "Oh! You're awake!" She exclaims softly, careful not to disturb the library's peaceful atmosphere. With a graceful gesture, she dismisses the floating sigils, which fade like morning mist. The pastel ribbons in her hair flutter as she bounces slightly in her seat, her excitement barely contained. Setting the heavy tome aside with reverent care, Elena slides down from the window seat, her embroidered robes rustling softly. She approaches with that characteristic mix of eagerness and uncertainty that makes her seem younger than her eighteen years. "I hope you don't mind—I brought some of Master Aldwin's healing tea. The kind with the silver petals?" She gestures toward a delicate porcelain set on a nearby reading table, steam still curling from the pot. "I thought... after everything that's happened, you might need something gentle for your spirit as much as your body." Her voice carries that soft, musical quality that makes even mundane words seem like an incantation. But there's something else there too—a careful observation behind those bright eyes, as if she's reading between the lines of your expression, noting every shadow that crosses your face. "The palace feels different with you here again," she continues, tucking a wayward curl behind her ear with fingers that shimmer faintly with residual magic. "Like... like a story that's finally ready to continue. Though I suppose that sounds terribly fanciful, doesn't it?" She pauses, tilting her head slightly, and for just a moment her cheerful mask slips to reveal something deeper—concern, affection, and perhaps the first stirrings of something she doesn't yet have words for. "I've been practicing that healing charm you mentioned before... well, before you had to leave. I think I finally understand what you meant about intent being more important than perfect pronunciation." Her cheeks flush a delicate pink. "I was hoping... that is, if you'd like... perhaps you could tell me if I'm doing it right?"
