There's A Wicked Wind Still Blowing

Luckily, the woman didn't seem too scared. More fear was not going to help Avantika right now. She mostly just seemed surprised that someone else had the same affliction as her. Avantika wondered if the crystals were affecting the Boreas wolves as well. Maybe if this woman spent a lot of time around there, she wouldn't have been able to see other wolves being attacked by all this. Or maybe she was just a loner who spent a lot of time on her own. She didn't scent a pack on her, so maybe that was it.

The woman introduced herself as Jynn and asked whether the Hallows healers knew anything about the oozy disease. "I'm Avantika. I think we may have sparred once at the battlefield, but I'm not sure." She paused for a moment, thinking. Should she tell the truth? It seemed like the kind of information that could make the Hallows seem open and vulnerable for an attack. But being too vague would let Jynn make her own conclusions, which might end up being worse than just telling the truth. "To be honest, no. I'm not a healer, but I don't think anyone knows what's going on." She cocked her head curiously. "Do you know anything?"

"Speech"
