Have Lyse raise concerns that Tataru forgot her shirt. Anything that could've let us pass the Bechdel test on this one.
The Bechdel Test doesn't require women to never, ever discuss men ever. Just that they discuss other things besides men, which they do pretty much everywhere else but here. This story doesn't exist in a vacuum.

(Besides, this does pass it. They discuss Lyse's work rebuilding Ala Mhigo and they discuss Alisaie trying to live up to the WoL, who in a lot of play-throughs is a woman.)
