[it's frightening how uncertain she's been feeling lately. of her role when she neither a princess nor paladin, her powers stripped in place of something new and still so unfamiliar.

all of us he says, and she knows Shiro speaks the truth. that she does need to stay closer to the team, that they're always stronger together. but...]

Lance is gone, isn't he? [it's said with unfettered sadness in her tone.] He...he wasn't...it was not because of the ship, was it? As far as you know?

[it's difficult to think about, but easier to focus on another than her. especially when Lance is, for all intents and purposes, the one she feels closest to.

but she listens to what Shiro says, sitting down on the bed in her room, free hand resting against its headboard as she tries to process everything.]

I am familiar with such a creature. It is reptilian, is it not? [a pause] Another member of the circle transforms into one...I've seen it before. [she thinks to Morrigan, briefly.]

When my team went down, and was separated, our power changed too. But I had the abilities I had back in our universe, and I believe the others did as well.

Yes, they’re reptilian and yes, one of us turns into one. Her power shifted too. I became the dragon instead. Keith had a healing power. But there was a serious drawback to it. He felt the injuries of those around him and they pulled at him to help.

[It was slight torture. He’s seen the look on Keith’s face when someone was injured in the same room. He puts that aside.] So, to review. Each team experienced different effects. I can’t tell if that was our magic reacting to the creature’s or a side effect or directly done to throw us off.

[He knows she can’t see his face but he closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose. It can’t be high frequency magic. He escaped the Qri. Those concepts didn’t apply? Or did they? He hears himself speak from far away his voice calm and level.]

Or it was the concentration of magic. When I was with the Coven we called it High frequency worlds. Worlds conductive to letting us have our own powers back. It has to do with how much magic a world naturally has.

[Magic. He is starting to chafe at how little they know. More than he already has anyway. He takes a breath. Focus. Being frustrated won’t help. His voice turns gentle again. Gentle and sad. He is used to losing people here but it never makes it any easier.]

And yes Lance is gone. I looked everywhere on the ship and here. I don’t think the ship was responsible. We lose people off and on. Astoria seems to struggle to hold a lot of us.
