"Some people feel it in their blood or breath, others feel it rising up their spines." The older woman's hand smooths Syeha's hair. "I think you're concentrating too hard. Yes, you must focus, but you can't force it. A part of you should stay relaxed. It's a balance." Syeha makes an effort to be patient, and imagines water... and suddenly her fingertips drip, wet.

The Southern girl, of course, hates feeling helpless and wishes she could do something right away.

Syura is pleased that her daughter will get the specialized attention that she needs, but dismayed both that she failed to see the signs in Syeha, and that the girl did not come to her with this information. The young mage, however, is reassured by this explanation for why she felt her sister-in-law to be in such extra danger. In turn, the discovery of army training found via the mind link is passed on.
