Oh good. Ethan could talk. That meant he wasn't choking anymore so Cece could relax and not have to worry about any students dying today. And just like that he was gone after saying he had something for her. "Uh, okay. I'll just stay here." She didn't even want to try and imagine what it was he had for her, or what it was he was going to want in return.. Students usually never gave her anything without wanting something in return from her.

And then there was Culloden... Wait! WHAT? Dear Healer? Since when did that man call her dear anything? Eh, whatever. He was leaving so she just gave him a forced smile.

And before she could even sit with Simon to try and comfort him, Ethan was back with...

Well look at that. He was giving her fire in a jar. And not just any fire either. a flame to help keep her warm. She took the jar from him and held it between both hands. "Thank you Ethan. I think this is the most thoughtful gift any student has ever given me." In fact, it might be the only gift a student has given her. Now holding the jar in one hand, she wrapped her other arm around the boy and gave him a hug. Yes, it is true. The not so evil healer was willingly hugging a student. Of course that hug didn't last long. She did have other students around her. Like Simon who seemed like he really needed to talk.

Setting the jar on the table she pulled up a seat next to Simon and sat down with him. "I know this term has been rough on everyone Simon. Not being able to communicate with the ones you love is really hard." Trust her, she knew what she was talking about. She had a loved one she desperatley wanted to see and talk to herself. "If you want, you can stop by my office later and we can talk." Where there wasn't a bunch of listening ears around.

She then looked over towards the fireplace. Yeah, I see you hiding over there Zoe. I'll be getting to you in a minute.
