"Good." She eyed Im'rahi closely as she emerged from her hiding spot. The healer looked to be unharmed. The significance of her shivering and other symptoms didn't occur to her just now, but it would. Ethe was too busy fuming.

The mage liked a puzzle. But not one quite so… hungry. "All right. This really wasn't then. Unless she hired someone. She was never any good at summoning as far as I knew."
There were plenty of things to be summoned other than demons. Abominations better left alone and some even on other planes.
"Oh!" It hit Ethe in the stomach like a blast of pain. "Oohh. Crap." Other planes.
Her head snapped back to the healer, observing her closely. Hm. Not good. The mage approached and asked the healer to sit down, "Just lean against the counter I guess. I should have known." Her face was serious now for once. "You haven't been exposed to other planes, not nearly enough, and you don't wear anything protective against it I'm sure." The teacher's fingertips lightly hovered against Im'rahi's skin, she started to trace runes along the girl's arm as her own fingers started to glow a gentle blue. The blue faded from mage to rune, lightly illuminating the other drow's skin just briefly before disappearing.
"Whatever happens when I go down there, you should be better protected this time from any force that gets pushed back out."
"And no, I don't have a plan. I gotta see what it is." Ethe shrugged. She could probably die, certainly if she went alone, but there was only one way to find out.
((She's warding Iymrame, assuming she won't follow her. But I would assume for the RP you want her to be stubborn and demand to follow? ;D ))

Im'rahi was grateful that the mage didn't say anything about her reaction, especially since it had been a very weak moment for her. If she was going to get through this she needed to stop acting like a child and get a backbone. Im'rahi ran a hand down one of her uncovered arms feeling for any telltale goosebumps and was relieved to find they were gone. She took a deep breath as the mage began to talk.
It was almost as if Ethe was reasoning things out loud; which seemed like a smart thing to do. A sudden pained look came onto the other's face causing Im'rahi to be concerned. Whatever the mage had just hit upon what the thing was and where it might have come from.
Im'rahi sat down as requested, her eyes closely watching Ethe's face as she started to speak. Im'rahi mutely nodded, somewhat understanding what Ethe was going to do. Apparently the thing was from another plane, meaning it wasn't a demon but it wasn't something nice either. And since she had never really dealt with other planes that protection against what it might be would be a good idea. Especially if she was in the same room when Ethe dealt with it. Lloth forbid if the thing were to take over her body! Im'rahi would hate to become a puppet for another entity.
"I appreciate your concern, but what if this enemy of yours has thought to add other boobytraps to the area? You may need someone to watch your back, even if they aren't very experienced with magic. I do know some defensive spells that could come in handy." Im'rahi offered, standing up from her seat, not willing to allow Ethe to go down and get killed.
Im'rahi didn't quit understand what was going through her mind and why she felt as though she needed to help the Ethe with her task. She had a nagging voice in the back of her mind that was bugging her, and pleading that she do what she could to help. Almost as if the voice were trying to warn against another evil that neither of them knew about.[

Ethe shrugged at the girl, she might be right. She didn't like the idea of having to bring her along into something so unpredictable and dangerous. How did she get the healer caught into something like this?
Now to focus. Focus. The darkness and magic just waiting and swirling in front of them was making everything much more difficult.
"You pay very close attention. Okay?"
Deep breaths. Telling the truth was going to be hard. She didn't want to frighten the student any more than she really already had. But Im'rahi needed to know what they would be facing. Or what Ethe was guessing they might be facing.
"I put those runes on you because there are connections down there to other planes. That's why you reacted so strongly to the magic and -I am assuming here- that includes whatever is down there. It's trapped from another plane."
The mage gritted her teeth again, "That tells me who is responsible." But she did not tell the healer who. It was someone much higher up than Uzatiyl. Someone Ethe knew better than to implicate just yet. "And it tells me that we are going to need to do some preparation before we go down."
