"A man-spider?" Despite knowing that Micolash's cage had been removed against his will, this is the first time she's hearing about the thief himself. "Any idea why he did that?"

"Any idea where he is now?" Caspar asks ominously. He's set aside his plate, what little appetite he had gone now as he hears more unpleasant details of the night in question. How very much he would like someone to punish for what happened to Adia. But then Sarah whines a little and Ethel makes a comforting rumble. It's enough to soften the hard lines of his face, and he goes back to petting them while Adia shares her side of the story, the part he's already heard.

"April told me about that. Several magic-users were trying to open a portal to rescue us. We were all trapped in our own personal Nightmares, at first. For me and Ghost, it was a spaceship on lockdown. It brought back bad memories for me." She glances sidelong at Caspar and gives his hand a gentle squeeze. "There was a creature on the ship with us -- dangerous, but in a lot of pain. We helped it, and that's what let us escape into a... a village of some sort. I think this part of the Nightmare was entirely from Micolash's mind. I, um... I ran into Viatorus. He had found the cage. He's the one who put it back on Micolash's head and ended the Nightmare."

Caspar looks up at her. "You're not going to tell him about the --"

"That's not my story to tell," Adia interrupts with a quick shake of her head. She knows that Caspar wants her to have the glory of freeing the worgen from his feral curse, of giving Viatorus the chance to resume his quest with the cage, but she knows how upsetting those events were to Harrowheart. It's up to him whether he wants to share that with Steve or not.
