I'm thinking "Delirium", like Mellondu's original departure that started the whole thing.
I envision Mellonin visiting her parents and then returning to her old room at the Inn-- not much supervision there, she can disappear overnight and not be missed til morning.
Bella and Leafa would be staying where? At the Inn, I would say, unless they've spent most of their money by now-- Leafa won't have much anyway. I dunno. So where WOULD Leafa and Bella be staying-- ideas?
Maybe Mellonin goes delirious as Mithrellas and departs late evening, when all think she is abed. Likewise either Bella or Leafa goes delirious as Nimrodel, ahd her companion chases her thinking she can't have gone far?
With Mellonin taking on Mithrellas's dreams, that would provide some tension between Raefindan, Ravion, and Mellonin. There'd also be tension of a different sort from Mellondu.
