"Oh!" Orien says, recalled to her purpose. She holds up the hat and stick. "I found these on the way in. And I saw the wyrbeast. Where is the traveller?"
Tiero jumps and looks immediately guilty, but he doesn't get a chance to respond.
"Tiero!" An authoritative voice, one Orien recognises even before her uncle's visitor arrives in the centre of the shrine. "What is
she doing here?!" He's speaking Eldarin, but Orien knows enough to follow what he's saying.
"I don't know," Tiero responds in the same language. "She came on her own!"
"See her out of Ahl Serin," the man - Prytanis? - orders. "She should not be here."
