Illy, as usual, was startled by Ivory's exclamation, she herself deep in thought. She had been finishing off her water when the dhampir spoke and nearly dropped the glass, but managed to hold on to it. 

She looked over at the other woman with furrowed brows, [color=598527]"Did he? ..hhmm..."[/color] she said, placing her free hand against her chin as she thought. The Queen of Hearts...interesting. Lucien had received the King of that suit, which made sense considering his intentions with the man. Ivory's card almost made sense...except that he had given it to her on their first meeting. He had to be choosing them, there was no way that he was doing it randomly. The Ace of Spades was a powerful card in the standard deck of 52, the highest value in poker and most other games...truly a representative of a force. But why Ivory? That, Illyana would have to work hard to understand, njust as she was with the vision.

After a moment lost in thought, she looked back at Ivory and thrust the glass toward her. [color=598527]"I'll ask her about it first chance I get. Thank you for letting me know..."[/color] she said, then looked toward the door. [color=598527]"I better go...its getting late and we have a long travel ahead of us tomorrow."[/color]
