She carried along herbs dutifully, the taste bittersweet on her tongue. It had not yet dawned upon her that horrible sights may await them. She had been more concerned with her mother's absence, and the normally recalcitrant Lilitu nodded at Ibis's command (well, unable to speak because of the mouthful, but still).
All that mattered to her was that they were together. Lilitu would have died of anticipation being left at home, wondering how Mama was faring on the road.

Loud as she was in normal speech, she wasn't sure how well her voice carried in such a serious situation. She met Bridget's gaze as the young woman spoke.
