Looking at the strange yet familiar woman in front of her, and ignoring the rows of fairies who looked dazed yet, Rose couldn't help but laugh. She felt... whole, for possibly the first time in her life. She took a few seconds, and tried something. She was able to cycle through her powers, almost, and able to feel, sense, and use them in a variety of combinations. She finally had total control. And while she knew the fairies were the ones who had done a lot of the Healing, she couldn't help but feel that without that mysterious woman next to her, she would not have made it. The mysterious woman then leaned over and whispered into Rose's ear, and she nodded.

Rose watched as the woman took a step back, and a black portal opened from nowhere behind her, and she stepped back into it. Rose smiled as the blackness closed in around her. Then Rose turned and regarded the fairies. She was already sitting up, but she could tell from their expressions that if she moved any more, they might just force her to lay down. She shook her head, and simply smiled.

"Thank you." she said simply, her throat constricted from emotion. She could not find any words more eloquent than those at the moment. When a person was close to unraveling and falling into oblivion as much as Rose had been, no words could truly express the thanks due to those that came to the rescue.

The fairies seemed to calm, and a few left the room, while others came up to Rose to check her out further. Rose saw, out of the corner of her eye, Taran slip into the room. She ignored him for the moment, since he seemed to be trying to hide in plain sight, while the Head Healer, a fairy identifying herself as Iry, told her how much rest she would be needing, and how she should not use any magic over the next 24 hours, and that she should rest for at least twice that amount of time.

Rose smiled and endured it all, still feeling more alive and well than ever before in her life.
