A/N: Hey-ho, just realized I didn't include an author's note in the first chapter. Not sure if it's required, buuuut... yeah. I wanted to do this challenge because there simply isn't enough Ellen around here. ...Younger Ellen, anyway. And it's a shame, too, because I love her character!
She was rather fond of taking walks after her day's work was done. Very frequently she'd walk along the river, only thinking. She had to have a set area to walk sometimes, otherwise she just might wander straight out of town and into harms way, So the river path was always her first choice.
To the east it flowed toward the house of the gruff but kind atelier, Saibara, and twisted southwest toward the Callaway cafe, where her close friend Carl lived and worked. Was this her reasoning for walking down the rivers path? She would never tell anyone otherwise.
