Aylia's still moping and feeling depressed, but at least she isn't shouting to herself anymore.  Being back hope helps, even though the black raincloud of knowing that it won't be for as long as she wants spoils things.  Meanwhile, Jenny is cheerful and excitable, and, happily, Kuralla will be coming back soon!  It took me awhile to come up with a good excuse for her coming back early (I originally wrote that she'd gotten homesick, which seemed rather weak), but I like what I wound up with at the end.  :)
