[ Istredd has been spending more time in Nocwich since it opened for the holiday and it's been a relief to get some much-needed space from Thorne. He has thrown himself into the various holiday treats and Luna and Ikorr's challenges, and it's been pleasant so far. He messaged River to tell her he was spending time there, it would be easier for them to meet here than in Nott, so he's been keeping an eye out for her. He is somewhat known as a Summoned so he is grabbed by someone as he goes, mentioning one of his kind is in 'an emergency.'
He is already moving in that direction after the request but the closer he gets to River, the more he feels the psychic pain in the area, and then when he recognizes it, he runs. Istredd can sense exactly where she is and he rushes over. ]
River, it's okay, it's okay.
[ He says those words out loud, but he also surrounds her mentally with his gentle telepathic embrace, trying to soothe her brain as he does putting his hands on her arms in person. He waves one of them at the others who have been worried watching the situation enfold and they seem content to now leave this to one of her people, walking away.]
River, it's Bá. Come back to me. [ This to her mind. Father. Hers.]
