Sun Mote Copse from the heart

Weejay grew excited at the thought of visiting Elfie. Eljay smiled at her boundless enthusiasm even despite the circumstances: the lack of food (though he supposed for her it might be what might seem normal despite the hunger, since she had not experienced any normal falls and winters so far), and the fact that Elfie was gone. It still stung for Eljay that Elfie had chosen consciously to move away from the Copse, from home, from Wiffle's last resting place, but mostly... From them, from him and Weejay. He knew it must hurt her too. Even the thought of visiting Elfie when he hadn't visited the Copse himself stung, but Eljay was warming up to the thought. It would be good to see Elfie again, even if just for a bit.

Yeah, I bet he'd love to see them, Eljay said with a smile. He wondered, Are you interested in learning more about healing, too? Sugar's looking to learn, too. I thought you two could maybe learn together since you're both interested in plants. I could call you if anyone's hurt so you can learn. He added: Only if that's something you wanted, of course. He had never had much interest in healing himself until later in his life; before then, he'd liked flowers but not done any healing. But he was here now, able to teach her, and that might not always be the case.
