Evelyn lead Julianna of to a side room, speaking quietly to her.
"Is there some way you can check in with your aunt or whoever's dealing with Nyx's sudden absence? Because no one's heard anything, and Rachel needs to see... Her daughter."

Julianna nodded. "I'll find out what's going on. Can I ask you some questions though?"

"Is it important? Or can it wait?"

"I'll make it quick." She held up the file. "What's this?"

"A file. Can you please contact your aunt? This is serious. Rachel's getting really panicked about it, and she's not in a state to handle that much stress. Besides, they're her family. It their right to know what's going on."

"Yes, but... Can I just ask you a few things about this file?"

"Later. I'll talk it through with you and answer your questions later. It can wait until then, can't it? Look, can you go contact your aunt now? Please." Evelyn said exhaustedly, rubbing the bridge of the nose between her fingers.

A short while later, Julianna approached her again. "Evelyn... Lady Mater... Whatever, they've got news on her. They think they've found her."

A layer of worry seemed to visibly lift of Evelyn's features, having not previously been noticeable before you saw it gone.

"Oh my god, is she okay? Tell me she's okay! What's happened?"

"I think she's mostly okay. Just... The land tremors, they shifted some land, and she ended up trapped in some kind of, like, underground cave or shaft or something.
She's okay." Julianna quickly reassured, seeing Evelyn's face change immediately to shock and worry.
"They've got a way to get her out. Her and a couple of others down there. But yeah, that's... What's been happening."

Evelyn crumpled her face into her hands. "Oh god. Oh my god. Oh my baby."

She looked up, face determined, turning on her heel. "Screw it, I'm going, and I'm bringing her home."
