Elyse let Jared run things, stepping in to offer assistance when he needed someone to demonstrate. The kids seemed to be having a good time and Gen was positively beaming because Jared had asked her to lead katas. That little girl was a born leader.
Jared had looked towards Rachel, not surprising since he cared for her so much and there was a slight smile on his face. Elyse looked over and saw Rachel was holding Lily. That child had a gift too, a gift for healing hurt souls. Elyse noticed her posture, slumped but taller. The fear scent had diminished and Hope was stronger now - not a lot, but stronger. Rachel probably wouldn’t notice the subtle changes.
More movement caught Elyse’s eye as someone new came down. The woman quietly moves to the side and sat on the floor, watching the happenings. Elyse had never met her before, but she had a guess as to who this was. Mara: her neighbor from across the hall. She didn’t seem to want to interact with anyone, so Elyse gave her space, only offering a light smile and a wave before she turned back to the lesson.
