“We all lost people, but we need to give ourselves the time and chance to heal.” — Halani to Eleena (9:27 Dragon)
Eleena started having feelings for an elven girl who helped her a lot back in Lothering. They took care of countless sick people and kept Eleena’s magic a secret.
They never actually had the time to have a story together. She died during the attack of Lothering, while Eleena was busy taking care of her family, first.

She was scared to sour their friendship, so once again, she remained silent.
