The
elf
nodded
.
She
was
still
nervous
.
She
didnt
tell
Jasmine
her
name
.
But
then
again,
planeswalkers
pick
up
names
very
easily
.
Jasmine
placed
her
hand
on
Tals
head,
and
once
again
the
warmth
filled
her,
like
being
bathed
in
sunshine
.
Nice
to
know
that
mana
still
works
here,
though
I
didnt
draw
so
much
.
With
what
happened
earlier,
I
needed
to
test
the
amount
of
mana
left
in
this
location
.
But
at
least
it
enabled
me
to
heal
you;
now
I
wont
be
so
alone
on
this
island
.
Tal
let
Jasmine
pull
her
closer
.
She
expected
this,
but
Tal
was
still
surprised
that
Jasmine
knew
what
Tal
was
going
to
say
.
You
are
quite
welcome,
my
dear
.
If
only
I
can
restore
your
home
and
family
as
easily
.
Jasmine
let
Tal
move
next
to
her
.
The
elf
climbed
on
her
lap
and
leaned
up
against
her
.
But
Im
in
the
same
situation
as
you
are,
Im
afraid
.
Someone
whos
life
has
been
turned
upside
down
.
Uprooted
and
dumped
in
uncharted
areas
.
Without
anyone
to
connect
to
and
take
refuge
in
.
Jasmine
looked
at
Tals
eyes
as
she
looked
up
to
her
.
She
was
just
a
child
.
Too
young
to
go
through
so
much
as
she
had
.
She
was
clinging
by
instinct
to
the
one
thing
she
thought
would
care
for
her,
and
Jasmine
is
beginning
to
notice
this
.
Its
all
right
child
.
Im
a
big
girl
.
I
can
take
care
of
myself
.
Nine
Hells,
Im
a
flipping
planeswalker,
for
Urzas
sake!
I
should
be
able
to
.
