It was hard work, but the elf managed to calm herself enough to listen to the Headmaster’s words. Something about staying away from the mist. Oh yes, Tinka could do that! She would stay FAR away from the mist and the creatures that lurked within.

“Tinka will help with the studentsies’ things.” She shook while she spoke but her voice no doubt less panicked than it had been a minute ago. It made her feel somewhat better knowing they would still be able to prepare and deliver food. Staying in the kitchen was perfectly doable.

The elf shrunk when O’Hara began to speak. She looked between her and the creature man then the Headmaster then her.

Maybe....maybe she would go get started on those trunks now.....

Very tense here, very very tense.
