Alice Grove MCDLT - May 2016
BenRG:
This is only a guess but I'd say that, given the lack of advanced medical science, it is unlikely that Gavia could have survived a coma lasting more than a week or so. Additionally, last Thursday's strip showed that Alice's hair is still sheared-off short, so enough time for it to have grown out hasn't passed yet.
Additionally they're on a two struthos-power cart, so an average travel speed of up to 3x human walking speed is quite possible. Even just a few days would have been enough to reach the current Savannah biome.

Given that she's not hooked to a saline drip, it's unlikely she was out more than 48 hours. She'd have dehydrated.
...and speaking of which, she's from space, she's deadly pale, and she's riding in skimpy clothes, uncovered, through the hot sunshine, asleep. No nanotech. Shouldn't she have second-degree sunburns by now?

Possibly, but she looks like she was covered by a blanket and maybe Ardent was shading her from direct sunlight since he seems to have kept a vigil this whole time. There is also the possibility that the environment has so drastically changed after the blink that sunshine doesn't have the same effect it had in ours.
Kugai:
Well, at least she's awake and somewhat back to normal now :-D
I'm wondering just how much of a timeskip we actually have here.
Channelore HellicottAtham:
My thoughts are that the Loon was Gavia, and that whilst unconscious she (represented by the loon) was lost in the darkness with some other entity. When the Loon / Gavia left that darkness to wake up, the entity also present in the darkness did not want her to leave it behind. It is the other entity asking her to stay in the darkness instead of returning to consciousness in the real world.
Recall the Loon / Gavia calling to Nano for help whilst he was dreaming, and she was within the grasp of the Nightwalker. Perhaps the Loon is Gavia's avatar of sorts whilst asleep / unconscious / otherwise outside of her physical (Gavia body) self.
Slight error on Jeph's part - he forgot Ardent's shirt in the birdseye view of the cart.
