Cora started at the sight of Illyana's jolt, and cry of pain, and leaned forward in her chair, reaching out for her as Ivory lead her to sit down. She scooted herself closer to Illy, laid a hand on her back and leaned in. She wasn't sure what to say, but she knew that look of pain. She desperately wanted to comfort her friend, and subconsciously began humming quietly, almost on instinct.

Illyana sat, hunched in the chair for a moment as her head throbbed and her hands shook. She felt the troupe gather around her and knew they were concerned. In the grand scheme of things, this had been a small occurrence. She had received bigger, longer visions before in the presence of her friends, but few with this sharp pain. It had to have been the physical connection of the card on her skin that had caused this violent of a reaction, when she was doing a reading with clients it almost never effected her in this way.

The sound of Cora's humming cut through her thoughts. The second she began to comprehend the music of it, she felt calmed and her headache immediately began to subside. After a moment of listening, she almost felt drawn in by its beauty and felt her muscles relax of their own accord. She kept her eyes closed, lulled by Cora's sweet voice.

But Lucien's voice interrupted the humming, and she slowly returned to consciousness. [color=598527]"Hm?"[/color] she asked as her mind clarified again, [color=598527]"Yes, yes, I'm alright."[/color] She glanced at the water Aurel handed her, and took a sip. [color=598527]"I just need a moment to...process."[/color] It seemed that studying the card would not be necessary after all, and with that much psychic energy, she wasn't sure she would be able to anyway. There was not much interpreting she would have to do from this vision, anyway. It was clear enough; Geralt was interested in Lucien, on several levels, which proved Ivory's theory from the previous night, but he also had ulterior motives.

Like Lucien, she was unsure how much of this she needed to share with the group. She would tell Lucien, of course, because it directly concerned him, but she didn't want to alarm anyone else. However, this new knowledge did make her very curious about Ivory's card. She would have to ask if she could take a look at it, once she was back at one-hundred percent.
