Elinor was different.

The potions master had agreed to do it without the offer of compensation.

Nigel raised an eyebrow as he listened to her threat or rather...threats, the man trying to decide if it sounded legit. It could go either way but reminded just how persistant Elinor could be, the shopkeeper finally decided he could believe that she was being totally truthful in just what she said she was going to do if he didn't accept the money.

"Fine...you win," he said giving in to the troublesome woman, palming the two extra coins with no further bother. She was lucky she seemed to have this power over him.

She smiled softly and gave a short laugh. Nigel was acting as though her request was worse than her previous. "Thank you," she said softly and quietly.

It seemed everything had been said and done. Nigel was alright, the potions had been paid for... She tried hard to hide the pitifully sad expression aching to come forward. She was surprised at herself. She was a grown woman, not a child... And yet the few days it might be until they saw each other again might as well never come. A minute away from Nigel felt like forever.

She felt a little sickened at herself. She was a mature adult. But she was thinking like the small girl that Nigel brought forth in her. Elinor fought her away.

"I guess I should go," she said after a few seconds, stepping over to her purse, and, in turn, closer to him. She felt that anything else to add had already been said more than once. 'Thank you', 'I love you', 'I'm sorry'-- None of these things were suitable. So she settled for a long, deep, heartfelt stare at him.

He had beautiful eyes. They made the corners of her mouth twitch upward. But she remained still as she looked at him, resisting the urge to glance away, or fiddle with her hair, or invade his personal space with a hug or a kiss. Perhaps he had had his fill of those. If he wanted one, she would give him one.

For now, though, she just looked at him. He was incredible. Not because he was handsome, but because of the difference he had made in her life. She doubted there was anything she would not do for him. She loved him. And it felt wonderful.
