The thought causes her such panic that she can scarcely breathe. Not daring to risk waking Ardbert up, she remains silent as she gathers up the duvet in shaky arms and drags it with her to the closet. Her Carbuncle follows, lighting up the otherwise dark space just enough to be comforting. She swaddles herself in the duvet along with her summoned companion, focusing on its familiar warmth until she stops feeling like she's dying.
By the time she's calmed down she's so thoroughly exhausted that she falls asleep before she has the chance to do anything else.
Despite her earlier concerns, she is kept company by pleasant dreams until she wakes.

Good morning.
Apologies for last night. I could not do as you asked and it frightened me, but your words followed me to sleep and brought me pleasant dreams.
