Just my pride. It’s in pieces” she groaned as one hand ran through her curls, checking for any bumps and lumps. Thankfully, there was nothing but the headache that was slowly becoming a problem. What would her mother say when she told her this story? Either laugh or frown. There was no in between.

With the lift doors opening suddenly, Delyth corrected her dress for a second time and went to leave, assuming they were on the right floor and froze, turning on the spot to find they hadn’t even changed floors! “Hmph… Why does nothing in this place work?!” Turning back, Delyth stormed into the elevator, cried out “Atrium” and stood there with her arms crossed, not at all amused. Sure, it was like watching a toddler have a tantrum because the toy she wanted wasn’t in stock but still.

”Ah…used to zat meinself.” His hand remained untaken and so he quickly dropped is hand to his side. The bruise his face had sported a few weeks had finally healed. He reached up touching the spot then shook himself. And speaking of pride, he swallowed his and asked ”Can you hent me mein kane?”

And then she was yelling at the elevator. He flinched. Since his eyesight had been ruined, his hearing and sense of smell had become more sensitive. He didn’t say anything about it though. Clearly the lady was a bit upset. ”May hap ve schould take schtairs?” he offered. With her help he could probably make it without slipping on poop or owl feathers or by an owl flying into him. But of course, just has he offered that idea, the elevator doors closed. Instinctively, he reached out and put a steadying hand on the lady’s shoulder as the elevator took off.
