The Veilwood Haven

Lizbeth smiles, a rather shy smile but yet a friendly face. “Yes thank you, all is fine, it’s quite a change for me, so quick. Max is my best friend, he’s the local lumberjack and he saved my life. He doesn’t like that I love alone and seclude. Elenore is away with strawberries, I’ll need to plant some. I’m strictly vegan, just plants. I can have things like eggs or sugar, but minimal quantities.l”
Lizbeth looks over the present creatures, seemingly all not very human.

Vaclar notices Lizbeths gaze glancing over everyone and says "ah yes we are a grand bunch of different kinds of beings yet we all get along quite well here and most of them are jokesters they love pulling little pranks we just recently had a wedding between a squirrel and a tiger shifter last week people seem to enjoy each other's company here and I couldn't be happier about it seeing everyone smiling and excited for tomorrow everyday it's just a wonderful thing to behold you know"

Elenore ran back over to Lizbeth. she took her hand interrupting the conversations she was having with SaraBella and Vaclar. she pulled her to the table "come sit with me!" she smiled brightly, seemingly alot happier then before. "when we get a cabin can we get strawberries and some pink milk, and maybe some cookies??!" She seemed excited. "do i get my own room?"

Lizbeth lets herself be taken by the girl as if someone very strong pulled her away, a soft ‘sorry’ on her lips, but a great smile.
“I’m with you honey, I will seat next to you and Henry. I think we can have all that. I’ll grow some strawberries, a whole field of strawberries, a mountain of strawberries… but what is pink milk? You know, I’m a deer and deer don’t drink pink milk. They don’t drink milk except from their Mom. Maybe I can find pink goat milk. Well Vaclar said there are two bedrooms in that hut we will see. So one for you, one for me. But where do we put Henry?”
Lizbeth is happy that Elenore seems to go better.

Elenore laughed "your silly...pink milk is just strawberry flavored milk...and Henry would sleep with me of course!" she was smiling so brightly now.

after they were done eating, SaraBella took them to go look at the open cabins. "you ready to go pick out your new home?" she asked. She started to lead the way to the cabins. "after we pick out your cabin we can maybe go find Kal if you want...i know you mentioned maybe wanting to meet him"

Kalvaths voice comes from the mana letter addressed to Sarabella kalvaths voice in a sultry tone "Hello miss bell I've sent this to let you know that I have decided to finish building my tree sanctum and that you are cute when you blush let that adorable side out more often sugar pie and I have finished it and would like to show you it's more of a getaway I will be living mostly in the haven just wanted to let you know honey bunch see ya later"

SaraBella was startled when a glowing letter appeared in front of her. "Huh?!" Kals voice came out of the letter. SaraBellas whole face turned bright red as Kal flirted with her in the letter in front of Lizbeth and Elenore. She chuckled nervously and turned back around to face Lizbeth and Elenore "um...just ignore that..." she was beat red. She would have to yell at him later.

A second mini letter pops up and in a whisper it says " oh was I coming to your place or were you coming to mine tonight" also it spawns another smaller letter that says " hold out your hand please"

Her face was getting redder and redder. She reluctantly held out her hand afraid what was about to happen next. How much could this man embarrass her?

Both letters turn into small versions of kalvath the slightly larger one says show the smaller me to elenore it's her message and it waves and starts doing the dance the other mana creatures did before then whispers to her "when you pick your home press Henry's nose something special will happen" then it turns into magic powder and disappears now for the larger me that's still in your hand he waves his hand and pulls out a cosmic rose and hops onto your shoulder puts it behind your ear while he whispers "even this flower can't compare to your beauty my goddess" then he kisses her cheek and then goes poof

Lizbeth has to grin softly, she were able to hear all the message, so obvious. "He really cares about you Miss Sara Bella. Is he Kalvath the magician, a caring elven. You are lucky Miss Bella."
She nods to SaraBella proposing some cabins to the duo, no, sorry, the trio. "I will need a lot of space to cultivate strawberries" she giggles softly as they were walking towards the first empty home.
"See Elenore, now Henry has a magical nose, just push, not too hard, and Kalvath will be with you. "
Lizbeth smiles to SaraBella, having such a suitor must be heartwarming.
All of them arrive at the first cabin, the one Vaclar thought to be the right one. And in fact it is, the doe is immediately in love with the place. Not too far from everyone but yet somehow a bit seclude where she can be herself as she wants, but most important of all, white roses are blooming all over. The cabin looks like her actual hut, slightly bigger as there will now be two living there.
"No need to look further, I take this one, it's perfect. Elenore, Mister Vaclar said there were two bedrooms, I think you'll have to make a choice, run to be first."
Lizbeth profits of the moment Elenor would run into the house to talk about that girl with SaraBella.

Elenore runs in excitedly with Henry to pick out a room. When she got inside she quickly picked a room and set Henry down on the ground. She looks curiously and presses her bears nose. "Let's see what happens..."

Meanwhile outside SaraBella was smiling brightly, happy to have helped them find a place. "Im glad you guys like it. She looks excited." She turned to Lizbeth. She rememberd that Lizbeth looked sad before, she remembered seeing the tear run down her face. "You feeling better now? ...sorry if im being too nosey...I just...I remember you looked sad earlier..."

Lizbeth nods, her face a bit more serious.
“Yes in fact I’m a bit sad, I loved my life and all is now changed, it’s confusing. But I’m also sad about this girl, I think she saw her parents die, taken by hunters. It’s not easy to see one’s Mom die in front of you. I lived same when I were about her age. So I’m concerned about that girl, she seems tough but I know she will cry often. So there must be someone she can rely on, all the time. Kalvath being one of these persons, if he wants or not.

You’re not ‘nosey’ nor curious, just concerned, thank you for that.

Do you think Mister Vaclar can find me strawberry plants? And tell him my gratitude for the roses, they are perfect. They always remind me of Angel, my Mom.”

"Ya..he can probably get you some strawberry seeds to plant. Anything else you want?" Just then they heard two other voices, maybe a recording playing for Elenore. Her parents voices..then....they heard Elenore cry.

After listening to the message Elenore began to sob, hugging her bear to her chest tightly "i want my mommy and daddy...please dont go away ...come back.." she sobbed

Lizbeth wants to thank for the seeds, but she can hear same voice speak, seemingly Elenore's parents.
"See, this is what I mean. Just one more thing, I need to return to my hut to get some things. Can someone look after Elenor? It will be quite emotional. And I have to talk to Max."
She quickly leaves SaraBella to join the girl, taking her in her arms. She must cry by herself, how much would she want to hear the voice of Angel again. So two girls are crying in their new home, no strawberry can soothe this sadness, only time. And yet, Angel and Maxwell are gone since many years, but Lizbeth can remember them as if it were yesterday.
The home seems to have all comfort already as beds are made up, Lizbeth would not be astonished that somehow clothing for that bunny was waiting, Lizbeth feels some magic in the air, not only from all the shifters and from Kalvath, something bigger, someone is watching and protecting every inhabitant of this village. That doe will feel quickly at home.

Vaclar shows up to help SaraBella and sees the girls crying and uses magic to conjure a warm blanket to cover them and then makes some ice cream and gives it to them and says " SaraBella you may be an adult and the future mayor and guardian of this village but at heart your still a little girl and he pats your head and gives you a hug and then says I hope your able to get closer to elenore cause Lizbeth may not be able to take care of her alone she may need help and it should be you since your chosen partner is that girls uncle winks at you

SaraBella hugs him back then pulls away slightly "wait...Kal...hes...her uncle? I should go find him..."
