That's a good point! About Elizabeth. You're right that these aren't like an average portal, but the Fey were going to another -- world, as far as I know. It wasn't like a portal to Nocwich, or Thorne, or something.
It had to have someone that stayed on the originating side, for it to close -- that's why she was still there to rescue us. I don't know if it needs a closing ritual on the ...receiving end?? too, or just the presence of people passing through. It'd be a lot easier if only one side has to "close the gate", so to speak, but...Well. That's assuming it even works on something like this that isn't intentional, or isn't Seelie, or -- but you get my meaning.
I don't know if others have gone more into depth about the ritual with her, but if not, I'm sure she would help if she could. She's been extremely generous. I mean, she's translated enough snippets of Seelie for me that I'm starting to recognize words here and there, and I'm just being curious (and trying to find helpful plants).
(on a lighter note: hey, no one else is volunteering to be the Mouth of the Summoned! Besides, we've still got plenty of features available. Eyes, Ears...Nose of the Summoned...)
