Elizabeth
The greatest gift
you can give someone

Elizabeth was happy to hear that his own family dynamics were good and immediately perked up at his description of them. "What a crazy coincidence! My father is also a historian of sorts. He had us traveling all over Caido to learn the histories, stories, and cultures of the different peoples. My mom was more interested in botany, studying the plant life of the areas. Obviously, I didn't pay very close attention to their work." Another sheepish smile emerged, but it was much more playful than embarrassed this time. It didn't bother her that she had a gap in her knowledge. People had their own strengths and passions. Hers didn't involve flora.
As he pushed a portion of the soil back into the hole, she nodded at his observation. It shouldn't make a difference if the ground below was softer. So when he paused, Elizabeth stepped forward to set the golden seed into the dirt, giving him a soft expression. "Thank you for the help. It would've taken me hours to do it myself and I have greatly enjoyed your company." With the seed in its proper place, Elizabeth stood again to let him plant his own or begin on another hole.
His returned question of her family let her look away to the distant waves again, also noting the hels circling overhead. "I couldn't imagine life without them. They gave me a chance to see the world and grow into my own person. I love them dearly." Her parents had been more than supportive of her striking out on her own, especially as they slowed their own lifestyle to that of leisure and retirement. They were of the mind that she needed to live her own life exploring, meeting people, and making a place for herself.
