"Nyx is... what?" Selene exclaimed. "What? Wha...Why? How? Wha- huh? How is she in Idris? No, scratch that, how are you even... what?"

Owen put a hand on her shoulder, attempting to calm her. "Okay, breathe, let's take this slowly."
Maddie chuckled from her resumed place back in the window glass. "In answer to why I'm like this, well... Nyx did it. Not sure how, but trust me, it's better than the alternative. As to why she's in Idris... again, I'm personally not sure. But she needs a way back, something about preferably not drawing the Clave's attention. Oh, and she's by Lake Lyn, although she probably could have been more precise, it's pretty large."

Travis rubbed his face exhaustedly. "Fucking hell. I'll go talk to Rachel."

Rachel had worry, bordering on panic, written across her entire face.
"What happened? What's going on?"
Magnus made a noise from the corner. "Is it anything to do with Alysha? Or what I'm actually asking is, can I go home now? I have stuff to do other than babysit the L'Ange's."

Travis scratched the back of his head nervously. "Actually, I think you need to see what's in the kitchen. Mum, everything's... under control. Except... Nyx has taken a spontaneous trip to Idris, and we're not sure why. Or thinking about it, it could potentially be Alysha. Or involve Alysha. Or... never mind, there's like a billion combinations. Point is, how do we get her back without the Clave poking their noses in?"

Rachel looked freaked out. "I don't... but... She's not... back at that ridiculous cave place, is she?! Did they say why she was there?! How do you know this?!"

Magnus reached for Rachel. "Hey, calm down."
"I will not calm down!" Screeched
Rachel. "I refuse to just..." she stopped short. "I feel sick."

Both Owen and Magnus reached to help her, but she shrugged them off. "I don't... I'm... fine... my legs hurt!"
And her eyes rolled back in her head as she slumped into the wheelchair.
