[When in a state of confusion, in a world that was foreign and unforgiving, it was important to find grounding. Something that was familiar that could help bring about a sense of calm. For Elena, that familiarity took the form of being a bartender at one of the local pubs. Of course, the downside was that she was constantly in a position of being praised and given words of encouragement to be the best hero she could be.
But at least she could drown most of them out and retreat into her own head, a tolerant but pleasant smile affixed to her lips.]

[Thud! Thud! Thud! Hammer meets nail as it is pounded into the door to her room, causing it to shudder with each assault.

She’s made her own name plate with very explicit instructions:]
