Recovery was not a straight road, but rather cragged and twisting, like something she recalled from what felt like a distant dream. The journey forward had been arduous at first - arriving in her condition the witch had been slow to leave the confines of a room allotted to her when the infirmary had seen fit to discharge her. She wasn't helpless, it turned out, just a bit forgetful. She just needed a bit of rest.

Rest she did. The body had been repaired stitch by stitch, mended and tended with poultices and bandages far better suited than the thick wet wool of her cloak. The real healing, however, came with sleep and in her waking hours a growing restless depression that made her long for some manner of exploration, images of cobblestone streets fleeting and dismissed as figments from the vivid dreams (fevered or not) that had accompanied her since her arrival. Instead, she was more interested in the streets outside and it hadn't taken her long at all to begin exploring, at first to trade for essentials, among them a few bobbins of thread and needles, the cloth with which she had sewn herself a shirt and simple slacks, and the walking stick that expanded her navigable areas of the city.

Eventually it even bore her to the crippled dome, a stir of parchment-scented air stirring something inside of her, drawing her inside. She entered like a cautious animal, sniffing the wind as she gingerly stepped forward, softening the clatter of the cane as best she could as though the mere (literal) whiff of books incited some kind of pious respect that did not seem otherwise natural to the girl. She looked to the open roof with a frown, wondering how many countless tomes had been damaged in the exposure shadow. Wondering how many of those tomes she might have actually been able to make out.

She carried these queries with her, advancing into the rows of literature with growing confidence, inspecting rows of books, praying for a recognizable script among them accompanied by the slow tapping of the cane and the limping drag of her left heel.
