Illyana snapped out of her trance when she heard Ivory's voice again, and she remembered that she was sitting in a room with the young woman. She blinked several times until her eyes clarified, then looked back at her. She was instantly disappointed by the dhampir's words, knowing that she was giving her too much information and not enough at the same time. Although she was glad to hear that she was not afraid of Geralt, that was not as important as her second statement.

She shook her head, adopting an apologetic tone, [color=598527]"No, I'm sorry...I didn't meant it like that. It wasn't like before."[/color] She said this without realizing that she was speaking of something delicate and close to Ivory, something that others would be curious to hear about but that only she and Lucien really knew about. [color=598527]"You were confused at first..."[/color] she let her eyes fall to the floor once more as she began remembering again, visualizing what she had seen. [color=598527]"You looked like you were lost, almost dazed. It was all black and you looked like you were looking for a way out...then, there were these tiny lights, like stars, that just started appearing all around. You were happy then...at ease. Then, at the end when Gera--"[/color] she stopped herself mid-name, [color=598527]"When he turned away, you looked worried again and then you...you just...you were gone."[/color]

That was the best way she could put it without being more specific. Hopefully this would be enough, but there was no way of knowing until Ivory processed everything and responded. There were still details about this that were bugging Illy, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
