Yes.

...It makes mages stronger?

[There is a frown in her voice, as she turns the idea around and around in her mind.]

[unshut]

For a short time.

[justashotaway]

Then they should put it on their bones.

[Hm.]

Is it...can it be like lightning?

[unshut]

How do you mean? The feeling, the snell?

[justashotaway]

It smells like lightning. But--

[She is not sure how to ask the question swimming around in her.]

Lightning has power. It...[Tony had mentioned the word electricity, but it's unmoored in her mind, no real context clinging to it.] If you put lyrium in someone's chest--

[How very interesting.]

I suppose it could. But I'm afraid that I'm no help to you here, my dear. You would be better served by a Templar. Perhaps Ser Coupe? I believe she is the closest we have.

[justashotaway]

Maybe.

[With some disappointment. She would rather find out from somebody she already knows; Ser Coupe is little more than a name and a hissing demand that she wear a hat.

After a delay, when she remembers that she is making an attempt at learning manners:]

Thank you.

[unshut]

Of course. I rather enjoy our talks.

[justashotaway]

I do, too.

[unshut]

[She laughs. It's a pleasant sound.]

Go on then. Don't let me keep you from satisfying your curiosity.

[justashotaway]

You are not keeping me from it.

[ Mild bafflement. ]
