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.
"I don't know if I'd ever met any actual adventurers before you guys broke into my house."
"We must have given you such a scare. We thought she was being held prisoner there."
Shrug. "Well, if someone else had gotten there first then we probably would have, right?"
"Yeah. I don't actually think we did anything wrong, but still - never really been a big fan of people being scared of me. Or - aware I could hurt them - before I ran away it came up a lot -"
"I would kind of think that people would still be aware of that.
"I guess nobody here seems particularly scared of you."
"They really don't! They should probably be more paranoid but I'm not exactly going to complain. I think people track - what you can get away with, as much as what you can do? So I'm scarier in Osirion in the stupid regalia than away from it, even though I'm carrying weapons when I'm being Hagan."
"So I should continue interrupting? - no, wait, let me guess, that's a rude question to ask in Cheliax because it's practically asking you to admit to a preference. Though actually the yous who are not from Cheliax also don't really like admitting to having preferences so maybe I am being unfair to Cheliax."
"I have no idea. I'm an idiot around you, headband or not, hadn't you noticed?"
"...huh. Matt and Fazil and Mahdi have all noticed so it's not just in my head."
.....well she has no idea what just happened.
She halfheartedly jots down some more ideas about horrible disasters that might befall her homeland.
He should find Cecelia and ask about schemes to get her ex to give up custody, that was his assignment.
She's still walking through the rain forest with her sister. There's not that much forest and she isn't terribly hard to find.
