Always, always fine, dammit! Maybe Cora had just been worried that whatever was wrong with her mother would be too much for the journeymaid Healer. Who wouldn't want the best care for their only remaining parent?

Then they could summon the Coach, pack everything important into it, and bring the family home to Sidra.
Perfect plan was perfect. Except...
