I hope they didn’t think I was too careless to find my way back. I should probably look for a map or—" She falters, her voice growing quieter as she tries to rein in her thoughts. "But I can't rush.

There’s always something to study, at least." She sighs deeply, her gaze drifting to the inn’s fire, her expression softening as she clutches her staff tightly. "I just hope they’re alright... I miss them."
