Felen clasps his hands behind his back as he stands by, looking down towards his employer. His face simply passive, neither smiling nor frowning. Respectful and calm.

"I can see to it that we adjust your schedule accordingly if you wish to go looking. Or I could contact one of the real estate agents next week if you'd prefer that. We'll find a home for you to feel comfortable in again," he replied and then silently stood by as she collected her thoughts.

He didn't think it was proper to offer a hand up until it was clear she was ready to stand up again. There was no reason to rush things if she was feeling a little better just relaxing there. "Ma'am, if you don't mind me saying it. You've been a great deal happier today, aside from the unfortunate portion of the concert of course. It's good to see you like that."

Zora · Jul 4, 2019

"I'd like that, yes," Zora said after giving his suggestion a moment's consideration. It would be nice to have a home again, a safe place to call her own. She could even get a place big enough where she could have a room for her son to call his own when he came to visit.

"Maybe book some viewings for next week?" she suggested. "Anything oceanside with three plus bedrooms is fine," she said, not worried anymore about the size, if it had a pool or any of the usual things she'd normally look for in a house. This time she wanted a home, and she decided to cast her web wider. Consider more places as potential options.

Zora glanced up at Felen, she found his candor was refreshing. Broen had never been extremely forthcoming, and rarely, if ever, offered his opinion on something when he had worked for her. "Thank you for getting me out of the hotel," Zora said as she looked at Felen gratefully. "And I do feel better. Better than in a long while ..." she admitted as she looked around at the forest around her and realised just how badly she had needed this.

"I do think we should be heading back though," she said as sat up and got to her knees. "It's getting late,I think," she said as she began to notice how long the shadows were getting, and that it was a tad cooler now than when they arrived.

Felen drew a small notebook and pen from somewhere within his robes and drew a few lines of elven script as he noted her request. "Of course- I'll have a folder with the various details available if you desire to look before we go to see the properties." Good, something constructive for her to focus her attention on. And a way to keep reminding herself that there were better things to come in the future.

He tucked away the notebook as he knelt down to offer her his hand in help getting up. "Personally the shadows of the later hours feel almost more comfortable to me, but we can certainly get you back to your room to relax for the rest of the evening. It would be a grave failure on my part to keep you out past your bedtime ma'am," he replied in a calm and stoic manner, though the wry smile on his face revealed his joking intention.

"And you dont need to thank me for getting you out of your room today. Your safety and comfort are my priorities. Even if you're the one making yourself less safe or less comfortable."

With that he extended his demonic hand into the nearby shadows beneath the tree and turned towards Zora. "When you're ready Ms. Del Bosque."

Zora · Jul 6, 2019

Zora stared for a second at Felen, at first bemused by the bedtime comment, then realizing by the look on his face that he was actually joking, she started laughing.

"No, you are right. I would not want you to be remiss in your duties to me," she said with a grin as she took his hand and got to her feet.

"Let's get me back to the hotel, and if you want you can take the rest of the evening off. Enjoy the rest of the festival if you want, or ..." here she glanced around the forest, "Or come back here even," she said with a tiny and very thoughtful nod.

The forest had been the perfect place to come. She'd most likely be back. Its calming nature had helped her enormously. She actually felt hopeful for once that everything would be okay. In fact, today was the first time in a while that the dark clouds had not hung over her and caused her to feel like life wasn't worth living.

Taking Felen's arm, Zora had the good graces to recognise that he was right. In a way, she had been the instrument of her own unhappiness, at least to a degree. Though she did understand that while you couldn't control one's grieving process, it wasn't healthy to pretend things never happened, but allowing it to strangle her as it had been doing wasn't healthy either.

"I know, Felen, I was letting my grief and fear consume me," she grimaced at the truth, "But I have taken the hint that it shouldn't control me," she admitted sheepishly.

"Anyways .. Let's go," she said as she gave the place one last glance. "It's probably past my bedtime anyways," she added jokingly.

Felen carefully helped Zoraida to her feet and remained holding her as they prepared to leave for her hotel room. He smiled back at her, though it was more so because she'd been able to joke than the joking itself that caused it.

"I'll see to it that you are settled first before I decide what to do. There's no sense in me trying to go elsewhere if you might require my services, Ma'am." And with that he nodded as she said she was ready to go and she finished with her thoughtful glances at the area around them.

His demon hand, already extended outward into the darkness, latched onto the shadows and pulled them both in. There was a brief jerk and then they were once again in that very brief bodiless, weightless state. More air and shadow than person, until once again they were returned to their corporeal forms. Standing within the darkened hotel room that Zora was staying in.

Felen continued to hold Zora as she seemed to be a little unsteady coming out of the shadow stepping sometimes. Or at least he held her until she seemed stable anyway. No awkward improprieties would be allowed, if he could help it. "Here we are. Ultimately today was a success I think. Do you need anything Ms. Del Bosque or would you prefer I left you to your privacy?"

Polgid, still solemnly stationed by a particularly large pool of darkness in the corner of the room, seemed to straighten up as their master returned. Not approaching or acting but it was clear they had heard the arrival and recognized Felen's voice.

Zora · Jul 11, 2019

Zora gripped onto Felen as he teleported them back to the hotel room. She wasn't quite used to his style of teleporting despite the irony of her also being able to teleport. When they were back in the hotel, Zora took a moment before she let Felen go to clear her head.

"Thank you, Felen," she said giving him a wan and as well as grateful smile before she let go of his arm. "I will be fine, Polgid is here," she said looking towards the corner where his familiar was. She had become accustomed to its presence, and found it comforting to know it was somewhere close by.

"Go out and enjoy the rest of the evening," she said as she sat down on the bed weirdly exhausted now. "You more than deserve it," Zora said truthfully. Felen had managed to get her out of the hotel today, rescue her before she made a fool of herself, calm her down and help her begin to heal... much more than many had done for her in the many weeks since Broen had passed on.

Felen nodded respectfully and stepped back as Zoraida found her balance.

"Thank you ma'am. You have my number if anything comes up. Anything at all and I can return within moments," he replied, wanting to include mention of her issue with nightmares it finding no tactful way to say it.

And then he turned to look at the flower-headed guardian in the corner. Not particularly friendly looking but reliable for what they did. He let out a string of harsh syllables as he gave the statuesque guardian specific instructions. As he did whenever leaving the being away from him.

"Rest well Ms. Del Bosque," he said with a quiet smile and then slipped into a shadow to leave her to it
