A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
"Might have been. But she's really set on staying with him, so it's better that however they are is bearable for her."
"I'm not mad about it. Hit a sore spot or something, I guess, is all."
"I don't think foreigners who don't kill any kids are doing anything wrong. I guess I think a lot of them will be sort of unhappy but lots of people are sort of unhappy anyway."
"And I can't make anyone happy, so, that's that I guess. But I do think Fazil and Mahdi will have happy lives with happy girls, a sort of happy lives they couldn't have other places, and - I'm glad for them, I guess."
"...well I don't wanna be alone, but I'd take one to share with my sister and Valentine if you want to arrange two."
"I was once told that talking about things is always a good idea but I suspect I was lied to."
"Pff. Well, you were. But I'm actually not mad at you, if this is your concern."
"More figured I was insensitive about something personal. But it's not - you've got all these friends here, I don't know why you're talking to me -"
"Um? I don't have any friends here. I have my sister, that's very cool. I have a bunch of alternate universe versions of myself who I feel some continuing compulsion to try to babysit. I have occasionally spoken to Fazil and Mahdi, but I am reliably informed that Fazil doesn't know how to make friends with women, so I assume I have not yet become his friend. And I have you."
"I mean, it's fine. I just - don't think it's very mysterious that I spend more time talking to you than to other people."
"The reason I was kind of moping was because, before I offended you, I was arguing with Fazil that we should get one house, so we could look out for you and your sister and Valentine. It's kind of stupid."
