In the sort of mid-distance, we see Brula covered up in bed, uh, in a room beyond with a full bowl of cold stew on the bedside table, but we follow, uh, Elinis as she preps herself for another day.

At this point, Elinis has attempted to contact everyone she can, every single day.

She has reached out to the council.

She's reached out to her former sisters at the Shield Maidens.

She's even tried, probably against Brula's desires, to contact Nysis, and has had very little progress or ideas from anyone.

So, the morning comes and she wakes up.

She immediately starts preparing her spells for the day, and she walks into the room with Brula and gently touches her and casts Death Ward on her, and she does this every single morning, uh, because she has to leave their room to continue paying for their expenses.

Yes, of co- of c- of course.
