Iyl watched as Lacain demonstrated what it looked like when her energy returned to her body. When he finished and looked at her with a satisfied expression, she was beaming. It looked amazing. Absently she blurted out, [b][color=#8fbbe5]"[/color][color=#91bbe3]Y[/color][color=#94bce1]o[/color][color=#96bcde]u[/color][color=#98bddc]r[/color] [color=#9dbdd8]e[/color][color=#9fbed5]y[/color][color=#a2bed3]e[/color][color=#a4bed1]s[/color] [color=#a9bfcc]a[/color][color=#abc0ca]r[/color][color=#adc0c8]e[/color] [color=#b2c1c3]p[/color][color=#b4c1c1]r[/color][color=#b7c1bf]e[/color][color=#b9c2bd]t[/color][color=#bbc2ba]t[/color][color=#bdc3b8]y[/color] [color=#c2c3b4]w[/color][color=#c4c4b1]h[/color][color=#c7c4af]e[/color][color=#c9c4ad]n[/color] [color=#cec5a8]t[/color][color=#d0c6a6]h[/color][color=#d2c6a4]e[/color][color=#d5c6a2]y[/color] [color=#d9c79d]g[/color][color=#dcc79b]l[/color][color=#dec899]o[/color][color=#e0c896]w[/color][color=#e3c994].[/color][color=#e5c992]"[/color][/b] An embarrassed expression washed over her face, and she covered her mouth as her cheeks began to redden.

As the two walked and talked, Iyl listened to Lacain as he told her he couldn't teleport the mirror to their location. She nodded. Of course he couldn't. That would have been too easy. 

Agreeing silently when Lacain said they were closing in on their destination, she was caught off-guard when he reached out and grabbed her shoulder. His grip was tight enough that it made her wince slightly, and she glanced at him from the corner of her eye listening as he made his assessment of the situation audible.

It seemed as though only certain energy signatures were allowed beyond the point they were standing, and Lacain's was one such energy. 

At this knowledge, the female mage sighed before gently removing Lacain's hand from her shoulder and taking a few steps behind him.

She wanted to go with him. She wanted to see what Teraem had given Lacain with her own eyes. 

Somehow, though, she knew that wouldn't be possible. This would be a journey only Lacain could take.
