Whatever the power was, Lystra was going to take it. She didn't think about where it was coming from or what it was for now. It was helping her, and that was all she cared about. As the newfound strength and warmth surged through her body, she found herself able to swim the last remaining distance to the lake shore. She broke the surface of the water seconds later, but despite the strength that she had been granted with, she still felt exhausted. She crawled from the water, coughing and sputtering slightly as water was coughed up. She fell over onto the ground, rolling over onto her back and breathing heavily as she looked up at the setting sky, seeing Emilia in the corner of her vision, but for the moment oblivious to what was happening near the tents.

	"Whew...Emilia? Remind next time to not touch shiny things in some ruin." The laugh that came out turned into a quiet groan. "Too close to dying for my comfort." A few seconds later after finally catching her breath a bit she sat up, shield still attached to her arm. Before she could utter another word, her eyes saw what Emilia had seen not seconds earlier. "...what happened to him?" Her voice seemed to lack any distinct sadness or concern, merely a bit of inquisitiveness. "He ask you out or something while I was almost drowning?" It was more of a joke - an attempt to lighten the mood just a bit. She coughed again, spitting out some water and shakily standing up as she flashed her friend another one of her best attempts at a reassuring smile.
