"I'm just going to step away for a bit, Mu.... Helena. You just try to get some rest," Violet said in what she hoped was a reassuring manner. Then she smiled softly at her mother as she got up and followed the healer to the door. She wanted to have a few words with the woman, and maybe get some answers.

Time: late August 2108

Violet had followed the Healer as she headed for the door and motioned her to step out into the hall where they could talk without disturbing her mother.

"Do you healers still not know what's the matter with her? If this is something physical or magical? It's just been weeks and she doesn't seem any closer to recovering any sense of herself than she was in the beginning." Violet was trying her best to be politic (and not behave like her grandfather), but her impatience and worry was starting to show.
