The night shift had always been a bit of a comfort; though the wards tended to explode in a frenzy of movement from time to time, Mabel enjoyed the solitude that it did often bring when there were just patients in their beds. She would get the occasional call from one patient or another, which would see her small frame burst into action as she tended to whatever their request was, and then she would get to relax after the task was complete. Tonight, there were no such requests, however she left her shift still feeling rather content. A few of the patients staying over night had requested her assistance in playing chess despite her insistence that she was a poor player.
So, the end of her shift had not ended in healing, but rather in being beaten rather severely at a game of chess. In fact, Mabel was quite sure she'd seen spells leave wands slower than the time it'd taken her to lose to her patients. But the rounds had left all in high spirits, so she walked out of the hospital feeling amused and decided she would rather fancy a walk in Padmore Park before she got home.
Padmore Park was always a lovely sight at night - the little golden orbs that floated in the air were almost mesmerizing to watch during a stroll. She'd changed out of her healer's robes, and so she plucked the collar of her coat to pull it tighter around her as the night's breeze gently buffeted her face. It was only when she instinctively looked over her shoulder that she realized one of the golden orbs in the park had attached itself to her and was floating serenely right behind her. Mabel reached out a hand and fluttered it to ward off the thing, but it stuck. "Oh, go away." She muttered, batting at the orb a bit more forcefully to no avail.
Huffing, Mabel hurried along the path, wondering how long it would take for the golden orb to detatch itself from her. "Leave me be, budge along!" She said, this time a bit more loudly before a movement out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. A figure falling against the bench. Startled, Mabel hurried forward to investigate. It was quite late, and they were the only two people in the vicinity; alarm rising in her chest as she approached the bench, the golden orb still floating along behind her. "Sir, are you alright?" She asked quietly as she approached.
