[It's quite some time before Rita returns. While she's out, the fake portrait is placed in the Hall of the Missing to ensure that nobody comes looking for Tyr--this way, Rita will be able to make sure they work in peace...and that he's always with her.
Even though she takes longer than expected, she's pretty sure Tyr will probably be all right. Actually, finding him unconscious works in her favour: it's a bit difficult to get him to take one of the gels, but she's able to settle down to study his rune without resistance once his bandages are changed again. Tyr can sleep through having a few sharp implements stuck in his hand, right?]
