Inconvenient but understandable. At home, she had her own corpse to tinker with, here she could settle for shadowing and hoping no one else became one. Didn't need that guilt by association, thanks.

Jessa entered the room, clipboard and notes clutched against her chest. She'd reviewed the program guidelines several times, adding to her collection of notes with each new look over. It was something she'd been looking forward to as the semester drew to a close. Practical experience...as practical as they would be allowed to get anyway.

"Morning." She muttered to the Professor...er....Healer....um....Professor....bef ore sinking into the seat by Noemi. Uncomfortable? Only a lot little. She'd spent the last 24 hours acclimating to the fact they'd be partners--AGAIN. It'd created all sorts of uncomfortable knots in her stomach when she'd first seen the notice and even now taking the seat next to the girl who seemed to end up in her group more often than not thanks universe she could feel small remnants of those knots but by now they were manageable.

Manageable was the most she could ask for. Manageable was okay.

"Noémi." Not at all said unkindly. The discomfort she felt around the girl had nothing to do with animosity. It was a genuine discomfort borne of chagrin, guilt and an ignorance on how to begin to resolve it. Could they get moving? She wouldn't be able to sit here for long. The fidgeting she began with the edges of her clipped papers was perhaps the easiest giveaway of that.
It did not surprise Delphine that the first two people to arrive were two of her best students in the pre-healing program. They were both bright, dedicated, and hard-working, and she expected them both to go far in the program. "Good morning, Noémi... Jessa..." she nodded curtly to each girl as they took their seats, unaware of any tension between them. And even if she had been, it didn't matter to her. She'd expect them both to leave any personal issues behind as this was a professional environment and there was no room for trivialities.

Noémi looked up from her review of the program details as the next person to arrive was a very familiar one and she gave her a tentative smile. It was of no surprise to her that Jessa would be here today as they were both studying healing and she had seen her name on the notice. It was just funny how the universe seemed to demand that they continue to cross paths.

"Hello, Jessa," she returned the greeting softly, and watched her briefly out of the corner of her eye. She could sense the other girl's discomfort and could see her fidgeting, and, true to Noémi's nature, she internalized this and decided it was because Jessa still had issues with her. Turning her eyes back to her paperwork, she decided it best to occupy herself with that until they began.

Lots of things needed to get done, so Ryden sincerely hoped that Trimble knew her presence here was solely a personal courtesy. And that she'd be leaving the second the meeting became inefficient.

She wasn't happy about this whole program either, but she'd much rather all the young Healers-to-be get to know her now than in the future when she really wouldn't have time to babysit them and their potion needs.

Walking in with a steaming cup of coffee already in her hand, Ryden Renaldi took a seat and surveyed the room. "Good morning." Being polite was the number one way to get into her good graces, and Ryden certainly believed in leading by example.
Whether Ms. Renaldi was happy to be here or not was of little consequence to Delphine. She would expect her here as a professional courtesy, not a personal one, as it was a teaching hospital and an essential part of the program for potential healers. Anyone who had issue could certainly be replaced, but she was sure it was not a problem for Renaldi.

"Good morning, Ms. Renaldi," she returned the greeting with a welcoming smile, pleased to see that she was prompt.

He had taken several classes over the summer and passed them all, so he was hopeful for this new term at school.

He was normally exhausted, he didn’t have time for much sleep lately, so the large cup of coffee in his hand was rather normal for him.

“Good morning Professor Trimble. ” He said as he walked in the room and then smiled softly as his grey eyes landed on a friend of his.

“Hello Noémi, nice to see you here. ” He settled his lanky frame next to her before looking around her at the girl seated next to her. “Hello. ” He said kindly, she looked vaguely familiar but he wasn’t sure who exactly she was.
Delphine nodded to another one of her prized pupils as he was the next to arrive and she gave him a welcoming smile as well. "Good morning, Apollo." It wouldn't be long until she was calling him Healer Kennedy. Of course he was already interning here, but he would find that they were doing things just a bit differently this term. While he would still be working in emergencies, she would also want him working within the other departments as well. It was their goal to create well-rounded healers and they had some very talented professionals to learn from.

"Hi, Apollo." Smiling brightly, Noémi returned his greeting in a hushed voice, feeling like she was back in class or something. But that was ridiculous honestly, and she knew that she could talk. She did want to remain professional and appear attentive though. This was a big deal for her. Maybe she'd have a chance to talk to him at some point about his experiences last year.

With a wide grin, the young man entered the room and smiled at his former mentor. "Hello Professor Trimble," he greeted her, carrying his to-go cup of coffee with him. He sat down near the front and took a sip, nodding in turn to everyone else who had gathered there. He recognized most people by face at least - he was still learning names, though. He HAD only been there a few months as an official employee of the hospital, after alL!
Well. And here was a former student. "Healer Gladin, how nice to see you today." Delphine gave him an uncharacteristically warm smile, certain that he would enjoy his new title, especially coming from her. But he had earned it. And she had good reason for inviting the newest of the healers here today as well.

Obviously it paid to be prepared for anything, and even several years after Hogwarts and the portal incident, she was ware of exactly how chaotic things could get on a moment’s notice. She wasn’t about to disappear without leaving word, even if it was likely the entire hospital knew about this meeting.

Besides, she was curious if emergencies was going to get any other interns. More hands would be welcome, absolutely.

The issue as to form of address wasn’t missed on the blonde, either, considering she had dealt with Ms. Trimble on both sides of the matter. “Good morning,” she addressed those gathered in the room before her, simply and delicately balanced as the files in her hand that she’d received on her roundabout way into the meeting. Settling into a seat not far from Healer Rinaldi so as to be ready to jump up if necessary, she put the nametag on as a matter of course before perusing the paperwork at her seat.
"Healer Penrose," Delphine nodded at the next person to arrive. "Good morning." Yes, of course she remembered the talented young woman from the university and she was pleased she'd be able to offer her services back to the program.

She would freeze as someone came past because no one should know that somehow her plant legs grew and she could move around.

Not knowing what kind of magic allowed her to walk on her roots, she didn't ask questions just went into action. She was hungry and the plant food the hospital gave her was nothing compared to flies that she wanted.

Seeing an open door she moved into it, but froze seeing a bunch of people. No, there wouldn't be any flies where there were people, but she couldn't let them know she could walk on her roots either. They would try to plant her back in that soft pot. So she pushed herself against the wall and went very still.
It appeared that all of those intended to be at the meeting were in attendance, which was perfect timing as it was now time to begin. Delphine valued promptness and, as she glanced up at the clock on the wall, she noticed another woman creeping along the wall next to the door.

What was...? "Can I help you, young lady?" Delphine asked her a bit curtly. "We're in the middle of a meeting..." Well, beginning of one, but important nonetheless. Perhaps she was a patient though. "Is she a ward of anyone here?" She asked, glancing at the staff members here. Perhaps they needed to escort her back to her room before they got started.



Just as Delphine opened her mouth to begin, a loud crack of thunder from the sudden storm outside reverberated through the room and the lights flickered briefly. Strange, she thought, as she glanced upward. Weather didn't normally interfere with the lighting charms. But perhaps it was just an odd coincidence as they seemed to be working fine now. Okay.

"Welcome, everyone," she smiled brightly at the occupants of the room. "To another term for our practical learning experience for our future healers. For many of you, this is familiar territory as you've either been through the program or have helped mentor those in training. But for some of you, this will be new, though a very valuable step on your journey to becoming a skilled healer. And for all of you, I expect this will be quite rewarding no matter what your part in the program is."

“This year,” she continued. “We’ll be doing things a little differently. This year our observing students and our interning students will be rotating within different departments of the hospital rather than focusing on one. We’re hoping to incur more well-rounded healers to be prepared for anything.” That was important for healers even when they did focus on a specialty.

“I’ll give you all a little time to get to know each other now.” It was fine with her if this part was casual as they could eat a little and converse a little, getting to know who the students were and who their mentors would be over the next few months. “Your specific assignments are listed in the paperwork…. And then we can discuss specifics if anyone has any questions.”


Just as Ms. Trimble was finished speaking another crack of thunder was heard and the lights went out completely, leaving the occupants of the meeting room in complete darkness. Not for long though! It might have felt like longer if one was afraid of the dark, but it was only a mere few seconds that the room was without light. Though once the lights came back on, Delphine Trimble was nowhere to be found. Someone else was there, coincidence or not, as a young girl, small for her age, stood in the doorway, staring silently at the adults around the table.
