Vanyel works on a letter to send back to Haven. For some reason Yfandes starts poking him every time he writes an apologetic phrase, so there are some ink-smears and accidental pen-marks. He eventually manages a letter that he thinks is both non-embarrassing and hopefully will be reassuring to the Heralds. He promises that he'll come back to Haven right away if they're stressed about Leareth's intentions, but says that Leareth so far shows all signs of being on their side, he's not concerned and neither is Yfandes, and Leareth did save his life at considerable risk to himself which should be a strong signal here.
He folds it up and then nags the Healer babysitting him about whether he can get out of bed yet, he's apparently feeling well enough now to be very bored.
...After much argument, it's agreed that he can get dressed in some borrowed clothes and walk around, maybe go see how Tarinda's getting on.
