The man at the table threw his cup, spilling it all over Elphaba. "Ugh!" The man growled. "This isn't whisky!"
Josephine's eyes went small. "Elphaba!" She called out, bolting foreward.

ooc: Wait was it water? I am just gonna assume it is water
She's allergic to water(not the water inside of her) but it burns her skin and too much could melt her
ic: Elphaba jumped back trying to get away but some got on her arm. Her skin started to go back to its normal shade of green but she wasn't worried about that. She was worried about her arm. She grabbed it with her free hand in pain and raced away. Grabbing a towl on the way out she ran outside. Holding it agenst her arm to dry it off she sat down on the ground.
Josephine followed her out of the door and said, "Are you alright?"
Elphaba looked away and hid her arm under the towl. "I... am... Uh... Allergic to.... Water...." She murmured. She took the towl off to show her arm. It had started to blister alittle like it would if someone burnt there skin. She hid it back under again and didn't look at her the whole time.
"Is that even possible?" She murmured. "...How can I help?"
"Yeah, it is possable and you can't help. It is like someone being allergic to peanut butter, no matter how hard you try you'll always be allergic to it. The water inside me, if there is any, doesn't hurt but if it touches my skin it is like fire touching your skin. I try not to cry a lot because tears hurt too." Elphaba said
"Maybe I should find you a job elsewhere," She muttered.
"I'm fine... Do you have a place where I can be alone? Where no one can hear or see me?" Elphaba asked. She wanted to use a spell in her book.
"Go behind the tavern," She responded, "Nobody goes back there."
Elphaba nodded he thanks and raced away. As soon as she was alone she sat on the found and flipped through a large book. Stoping at a page she lifted her hands up and started to move them in circles over the book as she tarted to chant. "Atuaka Atuaka cherirata Cherirata." She rested her unburnt hand on her arm and it started to heal.
Josephine followed her to the back of the tavern. "Is that some sort of healing spell?"
Elphaba jumped at the voice. She placed her hand on her heart. "God you scared me! Yeah it kind of is. It only works for small wounds so far. I've only used it once before and haven't been able to make larger wounds heal." She held out her arm to show that it was healed. "I'm working on it."
"Why don't I get you something to eat?"
Elphaba smiled. "Thanks, I have a question. Why have you been so nice to me? The only other two people that have been remotly nice to me haven't been able to talk to me since I became wanted." Elphaba said.
"We're friends, aren't we?" Josephine ased, her eyes bright and curious. "Friends help eachother."
Elphaba nodded. "I just am not used to it I've only had 1 friend and her boyfriend who I am not sure how our friendship is." She said
Josephine sighed and smiled slightly, sitting down next to Elphaba and putting her hands on her lap. "Don't let the past bug you," She said, "Live in the now. We could die tomorrow, so be happy now." She tried to give an encouraging grin.
"I try not to let it bug me but I'm reminded of it every time someone sees me. Rarly ever are there people like you who see past the green." Elphite said, she had lied alittle on the part before when talked about her friend's boyfriend. To be honest she had a small crush on him ever since they had saved a lion cub together in school once but she wouldn't admit it.
"Don't worry about how you look," Josephine said, brushing a lock of oaky-brown hair behind her ear. "You're human."
"I'm green and allergic to water." Elphite said rolling her eyes. "The only proof I have of bein human is who my parents are.@
