Elisa thought she'd be sick after Esmeralda finished her tale. She knew that she had been persecuted for being a gypsy, but to this extent... She gazed at her friend with a newfound respect. How it was possible to live such a life, and still turn out to be such a beautiful person, inside and out. It was amazing to Elisa.
"You are an incredible person, Esmeralda." Elisa said. "To go through so much, and be who you are today... I doubt I'd be the person I am if I had to go through what you did."

Esmeralda lowered her head, a bit embarrassed of crying in front of her friends. She wiped her tears away, hastily, and smiled.
"We gypsies have a saying," she replied quietly. "What doesn't break you, only makes you stronger. The day my gypsy mother died, I learned how cruel and unfair the world is. She was a strong and noble woman, always ready to fight for what she meant was right. She taught me to stand up for what I believe in, and to fight for justice. And most important, she taught me never to lose hope, no matter how much the world darken around you, there is always a way out of the difficulties. I have tried to follow in her footsteps."

Elisa pulled Esmeralda into her arms, and wrapped her wings around her in a tight embrace.
"She would be proud, I know it." She said. She pulled back slightly, looking into Esmeralda's eyes. "And you don't have to hide your tears from us."
"We're clan." Goliath said. "Family. We stand together, and we comfort each other."

Esmeralda smiled through tears and hugged Elisa back. Djali came over to her and placed his tiny hooves on her leg wanting to be a part of the embrace too. Esmeralda ruffled her friend's fur and smiled.
"I am grateful I have friends like you three. I will do my best to assure that you will remain together. I hope to see the night you and Goliath walks down the aisle as husband and wife."

Elisa smiled gratefully. She silently vowed to herself that if there were ever a way to help Esmeralda to be with her true love again, she would do all in her power to make it happen. Esmeralda may try and say that she and Kovu were just friends, and to one who didn't know her, Esmeralda's flirtatious ways might just convince one of that lie. But Elisa knew better.
"So." She said, deciding to get a move on. "Tell me more about these potions of yours."

((OOC: Forgive me those last posts were just wonderful))
Edna listened on as Esmeralda told her tale as the designer was actually a bit sad to hear the story. She began to speak but her voice was wavering a bit
"It's sad to go through losing someone like your mother and to be honest it so true today.. What doesn't break you certainley does make you stronger. I take those words by heart and those are words to go by."
She then looked at Elisa and formed a little smile
"You actually amaze me to find true love in someone like him" She was looking at the gargoyle Goliath and was a bit impressed. "What i can say is that you miss Elisa and the Gargoyle do make a lovely couple" as she said this she suddenly felt a tear as she tried to hide it. "Forgive me, I never been so emotional over true love"

Esmeralda smiled and looked over at Edna. An idea had started forming in her mind. She knew the love between Goliath and Elisa - and even if Esmeralda herself could never be with her own love, she would make sure that at least someone could live happily ever after. She gave the fasionista a smile.
"Edna, why don't you help me make some clothes for this couple so they can go on a date. Gargoyle size - not human. I am determined to succeed in what I have started."
Then she turned to Elisa, her eyes glittering, even if she didn't know what Elisa was planning for her.
"Elisa, I know some herbs that can transform the body to become what you want it to be. I happen to have these herbs with me, and I also know they grow here in the park. But to maintain the transformation, you will have to drink the potion regularly. How long the effect lasts, depends on the person drinking it, so I can not say how long it will work on you. The effects of the potion also varies, depending on who drinks it. How it has worked on others before, has nothing to do with you. I know a number of potions though, this is not the only one."

Edna perked up a bit and smiled at the idea by Esmeralda when asked about making clothing for Elisa and Goliath as she got out her trusty sketchpad.
"Hmm fancy clothing sounds like a good idea, but what is Elisas favorite color? I'll let her pick so that way I'll know before i can make a successful dress."

Goliath smiled at Esmeralda's suggestion. It had been a long while since he and Elisa had gone on a date.
Beside him Elisa smiled as well. "Well, I've never had a good green dress."
"I think you look lovely in any color." Goliath said, kissing her hand.
Elisa blushed.
"I would like to be with you when you try these potions." Goliath said.
Elisa smiled. "I thought you would."

Esmeralda smiled and looked over at Elisa and Goliath. Her two friends were so beautiful when they showed their love for each other openly. And that only made Esmeralda more determined to find a way to bring her two friends together.
"I can start working on the potions soon. But I will need a metal pot and a fireplace. The rest I am carrying with me."

"There's a fireplace in the castle." Goliath offered. "And I'm sure we can find a pot large enough."
Elisa smiled. A large part of her still didn't want to trust Xanatos, but he seemed sincere about wanting to thank Goliath for saving his son. And she had to admit it was very decent of him to allow the gargoyles to have their home back.
"We can head over there now." Elisa said. "Goliath can carry you, and I'll carry Djali."
She turned to the fashion designer.
"E, would you like to come too?"

Esmeralda smiled and looked over at Elisa and Goliath.
"I would love to come with you. I already have the herbs and plants I need for my potions. The owners of the castle - are they to be trusted? If not, I would be grateful if we could keep them away from my potions. I do not wish the secrets of my people to be revealed. I am one of the keepers of the secrets, like all our royals are."
She smiled teasingly when Elisa offered to carry Djali while Goliath could carry her.
"Are you sure I'm not too heavy for you, Goliath?" She teased. "I had an extra strawberry for dessert today."
((Plot idea about Xanatos, Elisa. Give me a shout on MSN, and I'll explain it to you ;D ))

Edna was surprised that Elisa asked her if she wanted to come to the castle as she just smiled.
"Well now, it would be very nice to join along so i accept, maybe i can find some ideas to make the clothings" she said
