Now that Ellana's caught up, she keeps up the hard pace in order to get to someplace warm and dry as fast as possible. Knowing she's not out flying alone helps. Were something to happen to her out here, she has someone who can help.

But thankfully Skyhold is close by, and as they fly above the front gate, Ellana veers for the stables and barn. They're close, there's a roof; what's not to like? Once inside she lowers to the ground, at which point she shifts back to elf with the customary smoke and lightning that accompanies a shift.
