"If that's what you would like then I don't see why not. Although I don't see how you'd be a nuisance to healers" She brushed her hands off as if to brush the matter aside, a natural habit she had when she had decided something, or was ending a conversation or task, picked up from years of brushing dirt off her hands.

She gave Alvin a sharp look, catching his eye and making sure she held his gaze, "You'll escort Miss Thompsett back to the gates. I won't have you go alone by yourself dear." This she addressed much more kindly to Sisse, before returning to her stern gaze over the Bixby boy. "Pepper will go with you." She added, mentioning the shop girl she'd employed once Dahlia and Zinnia had both gotten married and moved to their own homes. She couldn't very well let them go alone afterall. "Pepper, come in here!" She called over her shoulder.
