@jabbers-wild-world (Oleander and Hazel)
The first time Hazel had treated the garden fairy known for being a “tossaway,” she hadn’t actually known of his reputation at all. It was a basic principle of nursing fairies not to listen to any gossip; they had to examine each fairy with an open mind so as not to treat them with any preconceived notions of their possible ailments.
In fact, it was through Oleander’s frequent visits to the infirmary, each time due to another life-threatening situation he had (by his admission) submitted himself to, that clued her in. He didn’t seem to make it a secret either, but Hazel wasn’t there to judge.
She came to his bedside with a freshly-brewed elixir to soothe the physical pains of his most recent dangerous activity. Was his indifference between life and death something a healing talent could fix? She didn’t know, but she could talk to him, and keep him company until he could officially be discharged.
“How are you feeling?”
