Isla
There is similarly no blame on Isla's face as Lena comes back to them, and if they hadn't been quite literally running for their lives, she might have offered her a reassuring smile. Alas, that will have to wait until later. For now, hearing the caretaker's call and following both her pointed finger and Zavien's blade, the Remedy throws out a few more licks of flame in the direction they'd indicated. (Hopefully none of the birds get caught in the crossfire).
It does mean, of course, that the shield at their backs is almost non-existent now, but if Lena is right about them coming across the Hanging Tree if they head straight forward, hopefully it won't make much of a difference. And if it does? Well, they're about to find out either way.
Isla drops her fire shield and instead uses her magic to yeet fireballs in (she thinks) the direction of the lamplighter!
