Gabriella's eyes flutter as she recites the incantation spells of protection. Her body hovers slightly from the ground as the black robe flutters softly, the dark mask protects her eyes, and soft wisps of air move through her body. Floating in just her silken black robe left open, she allows the spell to engulf her in soft armor. Her flesh is bare to the world as the smoke tints her pale skin softly.
Gabriella feels an alight disturbance as the trance breaks and her body returns to the floor. Even before securing her robe, she moves swiftly to her door and opens it, seeing Lily slump over, sobbing and kneeling before her door. Gabriella helps her into her room without thinking or pausing to understand, closing the door softly.
"Lily, what happened?" Gabriella asks as she pulls the young woman forward.
"I... I don't know..." Lily responds, stammering as her body interrupts her speech with hiccups.
