Oh, Elena was worried, that much was certain. Only this time, there was no one for her to fight, there was no rescue party to get Elphie safe like there had been with Bonnie. No. Those who had hurt Elphie were locked safely away in their own reality. Would the Elphie who had been here be sent back to that? Elena hoped not. Sure, she didn't really know that one as much, she'd been colder and less inclined to talk so she said nothing as she knew what was going on by that point. Still, no one deserved it.
"You're not dreaming, Elphie. You're back in Lawrence and I'm here and taking you to Damon's." She didn't mention Galinda because honestly, she didn't know which Galinda they would be met with. Still, Elphie needed those healing potions and while Elena could help with that, she knew it was the two Ozian witches who had made them. Hopefully, even if the Galinda there wasn't from here, she'd at least know something to help. Because while Elphie could probably help her make it by telling her what she needed, it would be better to have someone more aware of things. And while Galinda could be extremely flighty, she knew the blond was also determined when it came to helping Elphie and wouldn't be distracted.
"Yes, I would be furious with you for dying. I don't like friends dying and I really don't think Damon and I could handle a broken hearted Galinda. There would be much glaring." Oh, Damon could compel Galinda to forget, but Elena had already seen what that could do if somehow Galinda found out. No. That wasn't the answer. But she didn't need a plan for dealing with that because it wasn't going to happen. "But you're not going to die so we really don't need to worry about that. We just need to get you back to Damon's where you can rest and heal without.. disturbances." Should she feel bad that she was referring to Fiyero in such a way? Perhaps. But the fact remained that the Winkie prince was just that. He played both the witches, wouldn't let up even when it was spelled out for him. He would want to help of course, but Elphie needed rest, not stress. Which was why, along with being closer, Damon's penthouse really was the better option.
Then Elphie was talking about hurting and not breaking and Elena felt her heart break. So she paused and gently hugged the green skinned woman.
"Of course you didn't break, you're too strong for that. But don't worry, we'll get you taken care of and you won't hurt so much. We just have to get to Damon's, okay?"
Smiling in what she hoped was a reassuring way, Elena shifted back to how they'd been and started moving again. She was wary, there was still that random killer on the loose, but she had more pressing matters to worry about now. Thankfully, there were no hitches in getting to Damon's and once there, Elena had Elphie go to her room and sit down before she went and got antiseptics and bandages and water. That done, Elena blinked as she noticed Cheese Puff curled up on Elphie's lap. Okay, that was cute but right now, the kitten was in the way. She felt bad for the orange fluff ball as she kept moving and thus new surroundings but no matter. Picking Cheese Puff up and placing her next to Elphie, Elena looked to her best friend.
"You need to get out of your dress so I can take care of your injuries. You can borrow something of mine or Damon's if my clothes don't fit."
