Chapter 13: Tearful Rest

"Um, Elaine, can we help you?" I asked, trying not to sound annoyed, knowing this would cut into more of our precious rest time. "And didn't you go with Ray to pay respect to Jean's family?"

"I was a very recent addition to their party. Mourning with them felt out of place. I said a few words and came back to the guild, hoping I could formally introduce myself to the two who saved my life." She bowed her head, "I am Elaine, a level 18 Wind and Light Magic user and holy sister of the Seliven temple."

I finally got a good look at Elaine. I couldn't tell the kind of hair or color it was as she hid it under her nun's cap, but when she lifted her head back, I noticed her eyes were a deep silver. She was even more petite than Lulu, perhaps because she was short and couldn't be any taller than five feet.
