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.
Then he will go spar with Hagan and the people who want to learn!
It's good to have him because Hagan, it transpires, is not remotely willing to hit a woman even though he is very creative about coming up with training exercises that hide this.
...this is kind of funny but not funny enough that she wants to mention that she's noticed it. They might stop.
She flies over to the pile of clothes and pets things. Sometimes she looks up and watches the people who are learning to fight.
She stands around kind of wishing she were one of the people learning but not actually asking to become one of them.
Then they can practice until they are all tired. Except Alex, who seems harder to tire.
"So - how do you and her know each other?" she asks, pointing between Alex and his Karen.
"When Karen was selected as the Slayer she went to her priest for help and he thought she could use a bodyguard so he asked me if I'd do it. So then we fought evil together and then got teleported to a universe like the one I grew up in, fighting the war against an evil god that I first died in, and she ended the war and then shortly after that died."
"I think from here on we should let Elizabeth kill all the evil gods."
"We can talk with my telepathy if you want to ask her something? I'm not sure she's got talking with her mouth figured back out yet."
"In the past when I have gotten people back from torture they have not cleared it."
