She doesn't know how long it's been since she's slept properly. A few days, maybe. She's been making do with a few snatches of slumber here and there. Never longer than an hour or two before she's jolted awake again with the feeling of molten flame and blood on her face and her teeth. She's been trying to tell herself that none of it means anything, that being shown these dreams or visions or whatever it is won't make any change – but she knows that's a lie. Like a bud waiting to unfurl, she can feel the promise of something monstrous just waiting to come loose and that the motive has prodded and pushed it into focus now of all times was an inevitability. She only has so much time, after all, until she has to pay back her debts.
She's swaying a little on her feet as she makes her way upstairs from the dorm. Exhausted as she is, she feels an odd sense of purpose and clarity nevertheless. Even a bit of bemusement, as she comes to the potions room, as to just who she's seeking out in her moment of need. ]
... Hubert.
[ Of course he's here. Bryn's relieved that he'd lived up to her expectations. ]
