Valdis' head still throbbed, but far less than during the storm, still, she had sent Hila into the city to find X. She didn't trust anyone else to hear what she had to say without judgement, and the man knew her better than was possible for everyone else.

The ka moved through the streets with purpose, unfazed by debris or the remainder of the floodwaters. Valdis had been able to pinpoint an approximate location, and Hila, being tied to Valdis, could find the place easily enough. She yipped when she grew near, ignoring the odd glances she received while she searched for X.

X, she called, Valdis needs you. She is recovering outside the city and will need clothes from her apartment, if you can bring them.
