Thinking it through
The worst of it is that Erynne's right. I only saw it after I'd had some sleep myself. I probably dreamed of a night we'd spent in a barn in a different dimension. It was then that I'd first learned that the Lamia can both thrall and kill lycanthropes.
The thing had reached across the dimensions to taint Erynne's dreams, and I'd felt its slimy presence through the mindlink. It'd seemed to back off fast enough when it sensed me the same way.
Since then Erynne's done some worrying aloud about how she came to play a portal chant instead of music, bringing us to this dimension, though.
It didn't look as though distance from the Lamia made much difference, not if she could cast thrall across the dimensions, but if Lamia feared the mindlink, Erynne might be safest close to me, and that might be our best chance. (I hoped she'd seen it for herself, too - because it's exactly what I'd be trying to talk her into if I was just thinking of myself.)
There was more to it, though. Erynne told me some bad stuff about how Lamia's mind works, that night. I couldn't understand why the clan hadn't sent Amber away - why hadn't they sent away every human that they cared about? I needed to talk to Stephen again, PDQ, and this time I thought I'd rather Erynne was there when I did it...
