"Ronan I . . ." Elthia began again. But she was again interrupted by Catori's parents returning from having their meal.
Catori's mother seemed not to have noticed that she was interrupting anything and threw her arms around Elthia, "Thank you. Oh thank you for taking care of our little Laney and her kitt. It just means the world to us."
Elthia smiled at the wonderfully bad timing of the otterwife and looked over her shoulder at Ronan. "Yes," she mouthed at him. "A million times yes." Then she extracted the otterwife from around her throat and told her. "It's really nothing. I'm just doing my job. But Laney really should get some more rest." Elthia grabbed a passing mouse who was one of her assistants in the infirmary. "Lily could you please show this couple up to a room where they can stay in the dormitories."
The mouse gave a respectful little curtsy. "Yes, Miss," she said to Elthia and then she turned to Catori's parents, "If you'll just follow me."
Elthia watched the couple go she had her back to Ronan now and waited expectantly for his response to the answer she had mouthed to him.

Ronan smiled happily at her answer and hugged her excitedly when the others were gone, picking her up and spinning her in a circle. He kissed her cheek happily as he gazed at her lovingly.

Elthia gave a little shriek of joy when he picked her up and spun her around. She'd been shyly watching him from a far ever since he came to the abbey and had slowly grown to love him. She'd believed somewhere deep inside herself that he was to be her mate someday but she had never had the boldness to approach him. Just knowing that he had been doing the same was incredible. "I . . . I love you, Ronan." How wonderful it was to be able to say those words.

Ronan smiled at her lovingly and kissed the corner of her mouth softly and shyly. I love you too, Elthia. He held her close to him and closed his eyes contently as he layed his head on top of hers gently.

Elthia wished she could be thinking only of Ronan at a time like this, but as a healer her mind flitted back to her patient. She pushed him back to arms length and looked into his eyes, her own full of concern. "Ronan, can I ask you to do something for me? Well it's not really for me it's for Laney."

Ronan nodded and bowed. Of course you can, M'lady. Your wish is my command. His eyes reflected the worry that shone in hers, wondering what she would need him to do, and hoping that nothing was wrong with Laney.

Elthia had known he would say yes. "She needs a certain mixture of herbs. I know which ones but they can be dangerous if given in the wrong dosage. I need to ask the otter fixer at Camp Willow what the proper mixture should be. I could probably send someone with the message but I want to make sure I get it right so, I was wondering if maybe you would accompany me there? I just wouldn't fell safe going on my own."

Ronan bowed playfully as he kissed her paw and winked at her. It would be my honor to escort the lovely lady. He smiled and kissed her cheek as he hugged her. Just say the word when yer ready to head out an' we'll leave, Love.

Elthia threw her head back and grinned. She had to be the luckiest female in the Abbey. She just loved being in his arms. "Thanks, Skip." She teased and then buried her face in his shoulder. "We should probably go fairly soon, but I want to watch, Laney over night to make sure she'll be alright while we're gone." She looked into his eyes again. "and I have something I want to show you while we're there at Camp Willow."

Ronan nodded his understanding and nuzzled her cheek lightly as he stared back into her eyes curiously, wondering just what she wanted to show him. Alright. We can leave tomorrow then. That'll give me time to get stuff ready.

Elthia was reluctant to leave his embrace but she knew she had patients who needed her attention. She pressed close to him for a few more precious seconds and then dropped back. "I do love you, ya know?" She sighed. She turned to go back into her infirmary but then turned back to Ronan quickly. "You do think it will be alright, the two of us going I mean." She was a little worried of what everybeast would think of the two young otters running off to Camp Willow unaccompanied might mean. It wasn't as though she really cared. They were to be married after all. But a creature could never be too careful.

Ronan smiled and kissed her cheek as she pulled away. I love you too, Elthia. He nodded in response to her question. It'll be fine. There's no reason why it wouldn't be. We're both responsible. Besides, we have a good reason for going. We need to get that medicine for Laney and her liddle 'un.

Elthia felt a little silly for her worry. "Of course." She dropped her eyes for a moment a blushed again. Then she looked back up at him. "Till tomorrow then?" Tomorrow seemed like a lifetime away, knowing that she wouldn't see him till then.

Ronan nodded and kissed her cheek. Yep. 'Til tomorrow, although you'll likely see me sooner. He winked as he headed out of the infirmary and to his dormotory room to get things packed for his trip to Camp Willow the next day.

Elthia watched him go until his rudder disappeared behind the corner. Then she leaned back against the wall and sighed. She wandered what he meant when he said he might see her sooner. Maybe that she would see him in her dreams. She was sure she would dream of him, like she had on countless other occasions, only now she knew her dreams were going to come true. Finally she stood up strait and prepared herself to get back to work. She knocked lightly on the door of the little private room. "Laney, Catori, how are you?"
