KotLC Hangout!

The Healing Center!

     Bright white lights blinded Sophie as she groaned and rubbed her eyes open. A figure was looming over her as she shifted her position, getting comfortable with the familiar bed. Elwin's healing center cot. 

     Sophie tried to sit up, but failed and went down with a shriek. Elwin rushed over, flashing an orb of light. 

    "How do you feel Sophie?" Elwin asked. 

    "I'm fine, just tired." She told him. Sophie heard footsteps padding into the room. "Well wouldn't you know, the Mysterious Miss F survives another near-death situation." Keefe claimed, striding into the room. 

   He sat on Sophie's cot, and stroked her hair. "Are you okay? Do you know what happened to you?" Keefe asked. He also recognized that Sophie was trying to sit up and helped her sit up against the back of the cot. 

   Sophie couldn't help but hug him, and Keefe laughed.

  "Wow, looks like things changed between you guys the last time I saw you." Elwin whistled, "It's always an adventure with you Sophie." Sophie and Keefe jerked away from each other, and Sophie kicked herself for forgetting Elwin was there. Keefe laughed so hard he nearly choked, 

    "Elwin's not wrong Foster. I hereby make a vow. I will shave off all my hair, FOREVER, when Foster stops going to the healing center!" Keefe teasingly promised. Sophie cracked up, " Get ready to be bald then!" She told him. 

    Keefe hugged her one more time. " Elwin, do you think Foster can stay at my place? Grady and Edaline are out of town, and I live by myself at Candleshade." He offered. "If Sophie wants to, then sure!" Elwin told him. 

    Sophie was really happy now. Not only for her, but she always felt bad for Keefe having to live alone. "Sure!" Sophie said, trying not to seem too enthusiastic. He smirked, "Come on then, our Fos-Boss!" Keefe fumbled for his home crystal as Sophie got up to her feet and twined their fingers.

   Keefe blushed but squeezed their hands tighter. "Oh wait! Before you go," Elwin ran out of the main rest area and returned a minute later with a basket of vials, "These are your medicines Sophie. 2 a day, okay?" 

  Sophie reluctantly nodded and took the basket."Bye Elwin!" Keefe yelled as they leaped to candleshade, which was only a few seconds until Sophie recovered from the dizziness.

  "Welcome to my lonely home!" Keefe showed her. He showed her an extra room across the hall from his room."I'll let you get unpacked Foster. If you need anything, and I mean ANYTHING. Come down to the kitchen okay?" He reached to tuck a hair behind her ears. Sophie nodded.

  She started taking all of her stuff out. She'd be staying here for 2 weeks with him. 2 WEEKS! Sophie took a medicine vial and chugged it down. Ugh bitter. She went down to the kitchen, where Keefe was *trying* to make lushberry juice. 

  Sophie couldn't help but giggle. He turned around in surprise and smirked at her. "Oh so Lady Foss-Boss thinks she can do better?". "No, I KNOW I can do better!" Sophie shoved him aside and showed him how to actually do it.

  Keefe put a hand over her shoulders as she held up the tray with 2 cups of lushberry juice. They both took one, and as Keefe took a sip, his eyes grew wide and he exclaimed, "FOSTER, THIS IS SOOO GOOD! YOU BETTER MAKE THIS EVERY DAY!" 

  Sophie reached up to ruffle his hair. Someone cleared their throat. Sophie and Keefe turned around only to find, "Fitz?".
