Chapter 26: Orc Hospitality

*A/N: The philosopher Azandra quotes is inspired by the writings of David Hume, 18th century Scottish Enlightenment philosopher. Also, real-world hospitals have therapy chairs similar to the one I describe.*

Azandra POV

The smell of Mrs. Primrose’s cave ginger cookies brought Azandra back to childhood, running through the house with muddy feet to the kitchen and making more work for the household staff as they scrubbed every last speck from the gleaming floor before Azandra’s mother Titania could see it.

She darted into the kitchen and snatched the disc of cookie joy, still warm and fresh out of the oven. Stuffing it in her mouth, she felt relief and comfort awakening her senses. With Patch, Dirge, and Anneliese away on their adventure and everyone fretting about it, she needed to stay on her toes. At least they’d arrived safely in Nauru and informed everyone. 

“Some habits don’t change, I see.”
