ELRETH
A couple hours later, an exhausted Elreth sat at the dining table, only one lantern lit so there wasn't too much light seeping into the bedchamber where Aaryn slept. She'd left the door open so she could hear and smell him if he woke.
At her urging, they'd both had a cup of tea and gone to bed after they bathed. Just as she had expected, Aaryn fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.
She'd laid with him a while, but she was wide-awake, her mind spinning with questions and concerns, things she didn't want to forget to bring up the next morning. So eventually she'd snuck out of the room and come in here.
Now she sat, papers spread around her, lists she added to as new things came to mind. She kept shaking her head and re-reading them, finding new questions, or new avenues she needed to explore.
What was Gahrye's role?
Who had been the first to take a human mate and stay on the other side?
