Mathea turns, heart in her mouth. Ylva is standing at the other end of the corridor looking distraught.
"Ylva! I've been looking all over -"
"Mum, I'm sorry!" Ylva interrupts. "We saw the ship was back so Magistra Colle sent me to Vraskall but then they said you were here and I came back - but I couldn't find you anywhere..." she runs out of air, and flings her arms around Mathea instead.
"All right, all right," Mathea says, hugging her back. "It's all right."
