I return from my visit to the Grove. Trying to wrap my head around everything that just happened in my process to help Elaine. I walk over to you, I open my mouth to explain what happened but nothing comes out. I try again— still nothing

“I— eh— gimme a second”

I clear my throat, you’re staring at me expectantly and and worriedly— you’re always worried about me, even when I tell you there’s no reason to be, I never understood why until The Grove. You’re an Elari— from the spirit race. How have I never noticed that before?! I look at you differently now— it’s so clear, everything about you screams Elari.

“—You’re an Elari. But you don’t remember because they sent you hear with no memory. ”

I spit out without thinking. Instead of following up with something else. I just stare at you. And rub my hand in the back of my neck nervously— I’m never nervous. I’m the fox sin of greed for heavens sake
