When Glenda and Cedella came to wake her to go with her to the old farm for the duel Tiamat's side of the bed was empty and all his body heat was gone which only meant he had been gone for quite a long time.
She was so exhausted Fiona hadn't even heard the door open and close as she was usually a light sleeper.
It was a pity they couldn't go with her all the way but they would stop at the rendezvous spot where she had begged Sloan to leave armor and the lance for her because it would be too heavy for her to carry on her own.
The women would help her get dressed and no doubt it would be a tearful exchange as they were very worried about her.
Right now, they should be more worried for Tiamat than her, for if she somehow managed to survive this duel she was going to make him pay for being so shallow as to sleep with her and then abandon her to attend to the Dragon King.
