((sorry for the delay, continue if you like but here is my follow up - of course, assuming we're back in time, prior to Glen's promotion and the arrival of the new doctor...))
Genny had taken note in some way or another that Janessa seemed slightly more overwhelmed than usual. Another ignored letter to the academy, or, for that matter, to anyone who would listen as she requested a doctor on Myrken's behalf. But her letters seemed quite useless, after all she'd been requesting help for library for what would soon be years.
"I'm sure they could use your help... after all you did for Miss Drache ... and James."
The comment was almost off-hand, a true statement to be sure, but not without purpose. And of course, now she would suggest they leave. Finally seated, grasping tea and actually sipping it. The hot liquid hadn't managed to will itself onto her lap or face somehow, no burns or stains, trips or injuries, a minor miracle by some standards. Not to mention she had just relaxed enough to seem only mildly abashed at assuming, rather daftly, that the rotund representative of Myrken had somehow hiked into this hidden paradise.
There was a short pause as she finished her tea, a small, brief moment of relaxed happiness evident in Genny's cordial smile. As if for the first time, in a long time, things were finally going right for her.
"That you will continue... it makes me happy to hear this... truly," honest words were saturated with gratitude as she stood once again and dusted herself off. "Please, lead the way," because if Genny did there was no telling where the pair would end up. Once they returned to civilization Genny could find Burnie and begin to form a strategy, but until they were out of the forest she was as lost and hopeless as Myrken's wood was without the Druid.
