One moment, Laia is sitting down for the start of the floor session.
The next moment, some kind of bizarre-looking monster is going at her with an enormous golden ring.
The moment after that, she's somewhere else.

"Yes, that'd be great. Virbank's to the southwest." She can give Laia directions in more detail.

...And shortly after she crosses to the other side, a very large bug (or possibly a very large leaf) jumps out at her!
