Fleuri cautiously backed away as Tiral's spell seemed to darken.  He knew little of what was actually happening, but Tiral's reaction plus the ominousness of the crystal turning black told him all he needed to know.  There was little else he could do besides remain vigilant and keep an eye out for more mundane threats.  Pulling his gaze away from the black crystal, he glanced around the room, looking for anything that registered to him as suspicious or out of the ordinary.  It was highly unlikely that he would notice anything, but it was still marginally more worthwhile than doing nothing, and either way, they could not afford to underestimate this Dark Lady.
