Dejah never considered himself as much of a healer, but he understood the necessity of his role.
When people could no longer afford basic remedies, they turned to him.
Although out of all the beverages and fresh produce he could offer, he was often sought out for his company. Not Dejah's company specifically, but some ones. Anyone's. Sometimes the best remedy he could possibly offer was an ear to listen.
He heard stories all xxxxx Under construction: And though he did not consider himself the wisest xxxxxx

"So have you just come out of boredom? Or do you have more gossip for me."
Though it didn't bother him as she thought it must, Elijah had few real friends in the town. It was expected from his recluse and sheltered lifestyle. Under construction:

origin

the boy afraid of the dark.
under construction Elijah's mother was kinder and softer than most. She had thick auburn hair, and high cheek bones upon a heart-shaped face. All features that Elijah had failed to inherit. She was beautiful.
Even at a young age, Elijah indulged in the finer things in life. So it was fitting that these finer things were often made unavailable to him.
Elijah's parents raised him in a little cottage. They were modest people, kind people, and like any parents, they tried to give Elijah only the best.

general notes:
- Elijah is 28 years old avid tea drinker and passionate plant fanatic.
- He is of average weight and height, with fair skin, black hair, and light grey eyes. There is nothing particularly striking about Elijah.
- Though he prefers being called Elijah, most will disregard this and call him Eli. (Especially Cecilea).
- He loves rain, plants, tea, and leafy green vegetables.
- Elijah does not drink coffee. He will order a strong green or peppermint tea from Bagels' cafe (which he, out of kindness, keeps in stock just for him).
- Elijah lives in a small cottage out of town, it is always neat and tidy, rather dark, smells like tea leaves, and is riddled with pot plants.
- Zenri often comes over to Elijah's cottage to help him rid his plants of bugs.
- Elijah makes a number of natural detox's and traditional medicine. He often helps those who don't agree with the more advanced methods of the modern world. He is sceptical, but will offer others the chance.
- Elijah reads and follows Aeros' tomes and scrolls on natural healing and admires her.
- Elijah is often serious and stern, but his heart is in the right place, and he never wants to see someone hurt.
- He loves reading books.
- He prefers his own company but Cecilea is probably his best friend.

peppermint tea, fresh and minty! good for stress

tea's best friends:
honey, can be a nicer substitute for sugar, especially for black teas.
lemon, tastes quite nice with your black and green teas.
milk, pretty much a standard. Preferably only black tea!
sugar, can add a sweet after-taste to minty teas. Or your best friends if you don't like bitter tea.

my recommendations: I personally only tend to have these on special occasions, or when I'm not feeling lazy. My favourite combos have to be adding a small drop of honey to black (breakfast) teas, and a small squeeze of lemon in minty teas (especially ice teas), can really zest up your mornings! As for milk I only tend to add a splash of lighter milk to black teas, when I don't feel like the hard bitterness of a strong black tea.
