"The recovery does seem fairly short, but I think some of that is because the changes are so quick compared to everything else." [More work, with Eilonwy occasionally stopping long enough to shake her hands and let some of the dirt fall off. Not that it mattered, but it was something else to do.]

"Loki advised me to stop always looking at Vaeros's actions as always being antagonistic. And if Vaeros is part fae, then that makes sense. Not all of them attack. But the Horned King certainly didn't waste his time towards the end of everything that happened in Prydain. I have a lot of contradicting ideas around all of this, to be completely honest."

[If the attacks weren't a reaction to steps forward, then why were they happening? Eilonwy could think up theories all day if she tried hard enough.]
