Istredd has not been intentionally avoiding him, he looked in on him when he was sleeping and recovering, but he didn't know that. It thought it for the best to give him time, it had been very brutal in there for a time. He was one of the people who gave into the sickness. And perhaps a part of him was reluctant because he had been forced to put his hands on Wilhelm and contain him, something he would normally hate to do.

Mostly it is because he was struggling himself. He has barely left the room since they got back. He's shuddering at shadows, avoiding people and quiet places, very unlike him. He is spending much of his time in the Horizon, too much of it. He says for good reason, but it's to escape to a safe place.

The ravens are Lucifer's creation so they react positively to anyone with ties to him. They will nuzzle at Wilhelm and one might even hop onto his shoulder, cawing. Istredd hears them squawk and steps out from his hiding spot in the second floor space that they use for conspiracy. He has an entire conspiracy board for this alone now.

He didn't think Wilhelm was ready to return to lessons. He already struggles. He pops into view and smiles faintly. "Wilhelm. How are you?"
