Transferred. With no news, no answers, no contact—even by magitek. What did it mean?

The questions were too many, and far beyond her reach, and for another time. Her gaze lifted back to Ren with all the surprise that indicated she had all but forgotten him, and she swallowed quickly, a sense of alarm building back into her, bristling her, as though it were only stubborn pride that kept her from taking a step back. ]
You don't know what's coming, so I'm going to do you a favor and give you fair warning. Stay away from me. [ She tried, then, to shoulder past him towards the kitchen's exit. She couldn't chance a confrontation if ALASTAIR was her way to Finn. She couldn't. ]
