Vervain
Vai didn't make it to the Trial. Since the attack, whilst the external injuries had healed, the psychological ones stuck around, and even now she finds herself hesitating before leaving the house. At least that was the case until she heard about Sunjata. Until she heard about Shaju. Since then she's been trawling sea and shoreline, cave and pier for any sign for either of them. If she finds the former, relief, of course. And if she finds the latter? Well, she'll kill Shaju for the second time.
She's meandering the sands of Rae's Fingers while the tide is out when she spots him. Vai has to do a double take, and then another just to make sure, before hissing out a curse worthy of a sailor and vaulting over a few stones to race across wet sand to the bedraggled, half drowned form in the cave's rocky interior.
"Sunjata." The witch's voice is low. Holding the back of her hand near his lips to check he's breathing (and feeling very relieved that he is), she very carefully rolls him onto his good side, letting a trickle of healing magic pulse through him - enough to bring him around without startling him.
