Beezley likes being out of the kitchens for a little while. She gets to spend more time with Masters and Mistresses." The little elf glanced around the room, her bug eyes falling on the young boy in the room. "...and young masters and mistresses, too."
"Master is Beezley's hero, yes he is. Beezley owes Master a favor. Just name it, Sir," the elf promised. "Argyle and Tinka are okay, too. Argyle and Tinka are living with Beezley in Mistress Morgan's hut, Sir. We have beds there, too." The little elf suddenly became aware of the conversation going on between Master and Mistress. Could it be that Master and Mistress think quite highly of one another? To make sure Beezley heard all the juicy little details, she leaned over a bit to where she was closer than ever to Master Lawson. This was a very good hearing area, yes it was.
Lean...
Lean, Lean....
Leannnnn.....
Whoooosh....
In the blink of an eye, the little elf front-flipped off the edge of the bed and landed with a soft
thunk on the floor at Mistress' feet. She lie there in shock for a moment, her bug eyes the size of quaffles. A few seconds later, she swallowed and spoke up. "It's alright! I'm ooooooo-k!"
"Really Beezley, you do not have to get me anything. I just did what anyone else would have done." He was pretty sure that was the case, no-one would have left the elves to drown in the kitchens. Right? "Oh that is good to hear Beezley, yes Professor Morgan will look after you." He didn't really know Iliana that well but she seemed the caring type.
As Marcus spoke to Caroline, he could see Beezley leaning in to listen to their conversation and he turned his head sharply toward her with a frown on his face just as she fell off the bed. He was tempted to scold her for listening in on people's conversations when Caroline had already picked her up.

"Well, um, not as sorry as you'll be if that pain potion wears off while you're still sitting up," she tried to play off her discomfort by being the Healer again. "You need to lie down now. I'll check your bruise in a few hours."
Marcus couldn't help but chuckle softly at Caroline's change in demeanor, for a second there things were almost back to the way they had been before. Which gave him a little hope that maybe they could be again. "Whatever you say Caroline, I promise to be good."
