We walked side by side and soon left the alleyways and stepped out on the main road. By this time the sun had completely stepped down and the sky was dark. The snowfall was going on without any break as well. In short, it would be better to go back home as soon as possible.
However, the first thing we did was go to a medical shop and buy some healing potions for Ellyn. I paid for it with the reasoning that it was my mistake that I let this happen.
Once her tongue was healed I led her to where Anya and I had decided to meet after half an hour of searching for Ellyn. I didn't exactly know how much time had passed although I did know that I'll be a little late or just on time.
On our way, we decided that telling her about all this will make her worry for no reason and then Ellyn will also have to tell her the reason why they targeted her, so it was better to not tell her. Thus, we chose to go with the excuse that she really got lost and wasn't able to find her way back.
