[The first thing that the Vine starts recording is Isabela pulling on the last of her clothes -- a thigh-high leather boot, which she finishes pulling into place before talking to the Vine.]

Well, I can't say I haven't been warned about the dangers of drinking before. Though cats with scrolls and sentient plant life were never included in any of those speeches, sadly... that was probably a bit too much foresight to ask for, hm?

If nothing else, I suppose this is better than waking up in a gutter somewhere. Cleaner, at the very least. [A laugh.]

So, tell me. Trees and animals can't be all there is around here. There must be a tavern, or a brothel, or a seedy undercity of some kind. If someone could direct me, I'd... well, I don't suppose you can owe a hallucination a favour, can you? Whatever works.

The King's Shield--the army. They kidnapped girls and brought them to the castle. So you weren't...?

[she puts a hand to her mouth, thinking. It's definitely not a human hand; a bit large for such a delicate-looking young woman.]

You were brought here directly, then?

I've never heard of it...it must be quite far.
