"Thank you. I am sorry to have troubled you with that." she said softly, bobbing her head even more. She hated to burden other people with such things. "That sort of thing .. does not happen often. Though I will admit I am grateful not to have been alone. It is terrifying to wake, not knowing if minutes or days have gone by." she stopped herself. Breathing more, she realized that she had felt to be on the brink of tears, and she did not know why she felt so emotional about this. It was then that she raised her attention to Reeve, seeing that he was bleeding again. "Are you alright? You are bleeding again. May I .. Please, may I help?"

"It was my burden that I put upon you, so I was happy to help you." Reeve smiled to her, hearing sadness in her voice he embraced her in another hug. The only thing that he hated more than his own sadness, was the sadness of another. "I am fine..." He said as he let her go. "There is no pain, this bleeding merely means that the spell I put on my eyes has worn off." Reeve spoke with a smile indicating that there was nothing wrong.

Without saying anything further, she held out her hand and created a clean white cloth for he to use. It was in that moment he decided to hug her. This time, it was he who initiated the contact. Unlike her usual self, she tried to put an arm around him, but was too slow and was only able to lean against him. When he stood again, she kept her eyes lowered and offered the cloth to his hands. "Here, if you would like. It is the least I could do. This was not the first time, I will admit. I am .. sensitive to other magic .. So please, worry not for it is not you, it is me."

"It may have happened to you before, but in this instance it was my fault. You were doing me a favor and reading some... very dangerous magik." He said as he took the cloth and wiped his eyes. He then folded the cloth and wrapped it around his head, using it as a blind fold. "Thank you..."

"My pleasure. Honestly, making a simple cloth is nothing to me. Effortless, I mean. It was my fault also for assuming the magic on the parchment was .." she stopped and frowned. There was just no easy way to express what was on her mind. "Rather my fault for not anticipating that I may react to it, like i said it happens very infrequently, it is always a surprise when I am overwhelmed like that. I really should be more responsible. You did fine, I am in your debt."

"How about... we call it even?" he asked with a smile. "It was my spell that made you collapse, but you knew it might happen. We are both guilty parties." Reeve tilted his head a bit. "And by the way, you did help me..."

Smiling slightly at this, she nodded her head in agreement. "I do not understand how .. but if I was able to help, then I have earned your help." she looked at him serenely for a moment. Thinking back, she vaguely remembered having seen the visions twice. "Did you have me review what I had seen immediately? The series of events for that evening are blurred for me." she said softly. Again, she truly wished to understand even though it meant talking about how she had failed.

Reeve sighed for a moment, trying to figure out how to word what he did. "Basically I stole the images from you, and that is why they are blurred." He scratched his head a bit after he spoke. "After you saw the images, I used a spell to pull them from your mind so that I may see them. It required you to view the events again, but after that they would become unavailable to you." His hand twitched a bit. "I am glad you can not see them anymore... they are not pleasent."

"I see. Well .. thank you I suppose is in order." she paused, not sure if she should press the subject or try for something else. Shifting her gaze to the sky, she looked at the evening twilight and sighed softly. "Do you have plans .. er, well I suppose that is too personal of a question to ask."

Reeve tilted his head slightly. "For the record, Ziven. You may ask me any quesion you wish. I am rather open, and more so towards my friends." He smiled at her.

"Oh right. Well, I was basically wondering what you might do with that knowledge, whatever it is. It might .."she paused again. Turning away from him again for a moment. She pulled her cloak tight around herself. "Well, it is not really your desire for openness that I hesitate for, really, but my own. You see, I am rather sensitive to other magics. Though the memory of whatever I saw is gone by your hand, something else lingers. I do not know that I would ever understand .. I just have too many mysteries in my past and of myself that I wish to know the answers to, I do not wish to add more mysteries."

Reeve thought about her question for a moment, he had never really thought about what he was going to do with the knowledge. "I mostly just want to find out more about why the creatures killed themselfs..." There were other reason, of course, but that was the main one. "Perhaps what lingers is the want to know..." He offered, not fully understanding what she ment. "You want the knowledge of yourself and others, but are unwilling to open up to learn them..."

"It is more than that. I cannot explain it because I do not understand it, I do not know why I am the way that I am, I simply am. Sometimes I desire to learn others magic but sometimes I can gain a certain .. knowledge through experience, limited knowledge." she stopped again. She had no idea what more she could say to explain, since she did not know more. There was something in that paper that had touched her or awoken something else, something deeper than she had known before. "My apologies. The more I think of this, the more I feel I should not have asked more."

Reeve paused for a moment as he listened to her words. The way she spoke about the subject was almost... thirsty. "Tell me, Ziven. If I were to tell you that I could teach you magik that were deemed... unforgivable by the basic laws of both human and nature, what would you say?"

She sighed heavily and tugged at her cloak again. When she spoke again, her voice was soft. "I would say I have learned such things from other peoples previously and do not see any reason to turn down an opportunity to learn more."
