Her time at the hospital would soon be coming to an end — for now. A handful of people seemed to be very aware of her condition, but management had not gotten around to questioning her on the matter. Her stomach, though visibly round when in plain robes, was often covered by the thick hospital-approved cloak meant for the hospital workers who didn't fare well in the chilly halls.
The head mediwizard, having learned of her condition during periodic training exercises to her dismay, had immediately reeled back her outside work, turning her into something of a trauma nurse. Broken bones, failing hearts, dire poisonings — it was unpleasant, but not difficult for the seasoned mediwitch to handle.
She entered the room of Mr. Darrow, a surname she recognized from her years under Professor Darrow but that had no other significance to her. He was pleasant and subdued and obviously under the influence of a potion; she couldn't stop the corners of her lips from curling up into a smile.
Unfortunately, the smile drooped at the mention of Zelda.
"She's like a sister to me." Although the state of their relationship had certainly shifted since she and Ari announced their sudden engagement without prior warning. "I'm her sister-in-law — the wife of Mr. Ari Fisk." She didn't say anything further and instead busied herself with the papers tucked into his file.
