This is the wrong building. She could have sworn the RA said "take a left at Emily, first on your right", and Bella did exactly that, and here she is and the rooms in this place don't even seem to be numbered, it's all letters and names. She's not going to find Intro to Subtle Therapy in Room 206 like that. Maybe the RA meant take a left after Emily, not before Emily? Maybe she was supposed to go the other way around the quad and approach Emily from the other direction? She's going to be late.
Bella tries to get out of the letter-named-rooms building to go ask Emily for directions, but that's not a stairwell after all, and there's someone shouting at her not to come in and she flinches back and clonks her elbow on the door and boots or no boots she's down and she -
- is falling -

"Lórien's far away, I'm going to miss you."

"I have a thing that lets me go back and forth," she says. "Somebody asked Lorien for it for me."
"Oh. Can I go?"

"I don't actually know if it takes passengers and anyway I don't think you're supposed to be there right now."
"I'm not but I really really want to be there. How does it work?"

"Magic, I assume. I will explain if you promise not to steal it or try to come along without permission."
"I'm definitely going to try to get to Lórien whether you've explained it or not."

"Then I'd better not explain it so I won't be in trouble, huh?"
"You won't be in trouble."
"I told you, I do it all the time. I tell people to do things and I get in trouble for telling them but they don't get in trouble for doing them because they're supposed to do what I say."

"This particular rule is not one I'm very tempted to help you with breaking."
"She doesn't want to see me, does she?"

"I'm not allowed to tell you anything I learn while working with her."
"Okay. I'll tell you things, then. She doesn't want to see me."
He stands there, looking a little lost, and then looks at the water again.

"I'll be back later," she says.

He is, of course, watching.

Well, it's not a wand of teleport, it's a leaf attached to specific trees, so she can't do much about that.
It works through her jeans, anyway. Maybe she will stuff it in her boot so it will be harder to swipe even if you are a nimble-fingered small child.
Hello, garden.

You're back, Rúmil says.
It was bizarre. When you vanished she - it became suddenly less urgent that she persuade you, and she seemed exasperated and disoriented but not consumed by it or anything, and then someone mentioned it was good you'd be staying in Tirion and then she absolutely had to get to Tirion at once and started walking, and then I pointed out that you could just pop back here, and probably would, and then she just seemed - a bit lost. She said she'd walk for Tirion anyway, because it was something to do. I'm very worried but also this is something different than slowly dying, so -

...I'll try to think of something that works better than this, but - this is an improvement, I think... So she's not here?
