Alyssa finishes securing her impromptu shroud before dismounting the carriage, leaving the two priests to finish bearing away the later driver while she gives herself a second cleanup with her magic. There’s little practical point to her ritual, but the act of self-purification helps to brush off the lingering sense of discomfort brought on by her unplanned deathwatch.
