Violet (thinking): Guess that explains why I was the one sent after her.
Violet: Well, I’m not gonna quiz you on identity issues. Get enough of that myself, what with being . . .
Blush: Halfsies?
Violet: Well, yeah, but heads-up, we don’t use that word anymore. “Mixed” has been more polite for the past couple decades.
Blush: Mm . . .
. . . nnngh.
Violet: Whoa! I got you.
Blush: Oh no . . . does this body have something wrong with it? Heart problems . . . anemia . . . diabetes . . . ?
Violet: My bet: this body needs something to drink.

She was sent? Who sent her, is this a fate thing, or was this ordered/requested?
To the bars!
With the Fire Spirits, there’s a bit of wiggle room to both sides of that. Violet could be ‘fated’ to pick Blush up, but the Order of the Chalice might have been directed to ‘give fate a push’.
Just to save everyone else a trip to the archives: Violet is of Aibreán and Feabhric heritage.
Have long-runners some problem with drinking or why is she guessing that?
It’s a hot day. Blush has been lost for a while and walking distances more suitable for an adult body. She’s probably just thirsty.
That’s probably the heart of it. The mind is not used to the new body.
Someone give this child a juice box.
