Leaving Lily to her thoughts, Artemis looked ahead at Sergeant Ebonshield, still leading the group. Unlike the unicorn, the batpony was holding her head up high, striding confidently, and on their way out of the Rookery chatted amiably with the Royal Undermountain Constabulary's duty officer at the orchard checkpoint. But she spotted a lethargy in Purity’s eyes, a slowness to react to new visual sensations that pointed to her wrestling with her own frustrations. As friendly as the sergeant could be, she didn't often volunteer information about herself, so Artemis wasn't sure what exactly was weighing on her mind, but the pegasus thought she had a pretty good guess.
