Isla listened intently to Jigano's description of what he had learned about LongNight from the Atheneum, staring thoughtfully down at the scatter of hay and other treats they had brought for the luxere. Mostly she'd read as much from the Notice Board, but the remark about using raw meat as a punishment was... horrifying to say the least. Isla wrinkled her nose, shaking her head, though she glanced back up at Jigano at the suggestion they coax the luxere to the infirmary door.
"That was going to be my plan," she admitted with a soft smile. "I plan to spend the LongNight at the infirmary with the patients who are too unwell to go home. If we can coax some luxere there, anyone in need of help will be able to find the place in the dark, and hopefully it will ward away anything unsavoury. You are welcome to join me, by the way. If you haven't plans already."
Regrettably they couldn't keep talking about the comparatively easy subject of LongNight forever. Isla folded her hands in her lap, holding onto them like they were a lifeline. "I needed to know," she said simply. "What it was like, what they were made of... what they could do, for myself." A humourless smile flickered across her face. "You must think me foolish."
