I think Evelyn refusing to give up her stone does make sense, although that's mainly because I dislike how teleporting away to the homestead interrupts what you were doing at the time. It breaks the flow, almost as if Bertia's dialogue should be adjusted so that as soon as you tell her about the sheep you get the option to compensate her so she won't have Roberts arrested instead of you've been interrupted mid-sentence by a completely different topic.

If you could only teleport after leaving the King Crab Tavern, after touching that Star Stone, that would solve my complaints about getting interrupted.

Completely removing the reference to Evelyn's stone and the blue lightning would make work for that, but it would mean a massive rewrite of the scene in the clinic, so it's not an ideal solution.
