That makes sense, considering that Elgea is where Paean the God of Healing has his main temple.

He doesn't have much more to say, but can listen in if they're talking about local healing and illnesses.  

When Erin inquires, they'll go over the various sicknesses which have passed through town since she did. Nothing serious, it turns out, nothing that didn't pass within a few days. The only things that might call for her attention are the butchers knee and a young woman who broke her wrist a few weeks ago, falling out of a tree. 

He makes mental notes of the local issues, but it looks like everything's being handled as well as he could do it.  

Sounds like it, yes. 

Dinner goes on, and eventually ends. Tomas gets the kids to help him carry the dishes back to the kitchen and wash up. 

"We have room if you'd like to stay the night," Dacey offers Ara'Vine. 

"I'd appreciate that, thank you."

They can set him up with a place to sleep, then. Night falls, and all the residents (and Erin) retreat to their usual bedrooms to sleep as well.

They sleep, and wake, and prepare for the day. 

Over breakfast, Erin outlines her plans for the day - visit the butcher and the girl who broke her wrist, check in on a couple of old and long-term patients to ensure all is as well as it seems with them, stop by Tomas' class to give a quick first aid lesson, and pick up some supplies from the small market in the center of town. That should only take until mid-afternoon, but would Ara'Vine object to staying another night before they move on?

"Take all the time you want."  The continent of North Cardinal isn't going anywhere.  Or, if the geologists are right about tectonic shifts, it's at least not going anywhere fast enough to matter.

He plans his own itinerary.  Among other things, he wants to visit the place where medicinal herbs are grown to check on the plants and trade seeds.  Possibly visit the temple and see if there are any local shrines to Diamondeye he'll be expected to visit.  

"I can be the one to buy supplies today.  Anything in particular we should get?"
