why me?
Isibel spends her last day on the island flying, and then she rejoins her expedition, and packs, and sleeps, and in the dawnlight she gets back on the boat to sail back to the Elven Lands.
She is kept quite occupied with small magics to keep the ship operating smoothly, and also with notebooking - writing quite small, as she brought more than enough notebooks for three weeks but then unexpectedly used many of them to draw and write with the demon and has only half of one left for several days at sea.
They land on the shore of the Elven Lands on schedule, and disembark.

She shrinks away - takes a moment of focus on her breath - emerges into equilibrium - and decides to go to where he is. Maybe she will feel more normal if they have a conversation out loud, maybe it will help.

Things are a little more muffled between them, with his dragon-self sleeping. A very little.

She focuses on walking. She walks. She comes back into the world when she arrives.
"Liselen says you aren't Tainted," she says.

This doesn't stop her from looking at her feet and clasping her hands and tearing up when he thinks of the reason he is unfit unicorn company.
no subject
It's not as though he wouldn't have - if he had ever met someone he wanted to be unfit for unicorns with, who also wanted to. But there has never been such a person. There has only been his life in Shadow Mountain, and the long years alone after that. And then the visit from all those dragons, but the demon was not physically a part of that encounter.

She leans on him and closes her eyes.

He can't do it forever. He can't even do it for a full minute.
no subject
She couldn't hyperfocus for long when she first started either. Maybe they can practice.
Of course - she's pretty sure she won't be able to get anything done while they're doing that - but through some combination of him concentrating and her concentrating they may be able to do what they have to do.
Which is, by the way -
"And Liselen says we both need to do something about the - whoever is bringing Darkness into the world. Together."
