There are more elves now. They're impatient. They ran off Bella's escort with private whispers Bella didn't hear, Bella's subtle arts are jammed again, and they're faster than she is.

Celo's there, there are more elves now but maybe there's someone with him or he can put Bella where he puts his stuff or something -
