Evelea grimaced as she came awake. The Silence had started to fade, and that was good, because being both defenseless and stupid wasn't going to help anyone. She groaned softly as she sat up, reaching for the journal. She read with dawning horror.

The demon had showed itself? While she slept, warm and comfortable people had been hurt. She felt ill, her throat working as she tried to choke back bile. She slid out of the bed, wishing she had a decent staff, but that had been lost in the scuffle with Cullen and she had no idea where it had fallen. The thought of asking him for a replacement made her cheeks sting, her stomach do another flip.

She needed to help, somehow, and if her mana was returning now, she could at least cast barriers or minor healing. She began collecting her gear, pulling on her boots and coat, then moved toward the door.

"I've got a pretty good idea where he started, at least," Kaidan said. "But if they've moved on in their search, I'm as uncertain as you."

"Let's start there. Perhaps he'll keep us updated in his journal?" A note of anxiety forced a tremor into her voice. She did not want Cullen anywhere near that thing again, wanted no one near it. And she was trying very hard not to think about how she had failed to defeat it once already.

"It's going to work out," Kaidan said, sensing her anxiety, though he had no way to know what it was about. They walked down together, and he checked his gun as they headed toward the door out into the main hall. "Long experience says if the odds don't stack in our favor, we'll make them stack."

Evelea nodded, eyes making note of the way he handled his strange weapon, but he was clearly confident in his abilities. She smiled weakly at his reassurance. He didn't even know her and he was attempting to settle her nerves. She nodded. "Well, let's hope, hmm?" That was an odd thought. She swallowed and opened the door.
