As we entered the arena, I became overcome by all of the other emotions around me. It wasn't difficult to decipher the exhilaration and anger that most people were feeling, unfortunately the huge amount of emotions was just too much all at once. It had me wincing in pain as a headache, not much unlike a human migraine, tried to crop up and fiercely make itself known. I shouldn't have come here with her to begin with, but after not seeing her for almost a week I didn't want to leave her side. I sit beside her and glance in her direction. Despite the debilitating headache, the first emotion I am able to decipher from her is an overwhelming need to talk with Namjoon. "Don't try to communicate with him telepathically. It won't work here. They disable certain magic to keep the contestants from cheating."
My discomfort is overlooked for at least half of the fight. That's around the time Everleigh turns to me and notices the pain I am dealing with. "Oh my God. Why didn't you tell me that your empathy would work here? I would have insisted that you stay home."
"I wanted to be here to help support you. I honestly didn't think about the repercussions at the time. Now, I can't help but admit that I am regretting it." I know I am frowning, but it is impossible to put a positive expression on my face when my head is starting to feel like someone put it between two metal plates of a vice and began twirling the crank as tightly as possible.
She grabs my hand with hers. "Seems bogus that empathic abilities would work while telepathic abilities wouldn't. I mean I get that they wouldn't be much help in the ring, and that's probably why they didn't think to turn that off. You shouldn't have to suffer though when they have the capability of turning it off."
At first I think her sympathy is drowning out the others due to proximity and relieving some of the tension that way, but then my eyes catch sight of her hand. It's glowing. Is it possible that this might be part of her Spring Sidhe abilities? I have to admit though that I have never heard of anything like this before. Perhaps it stems off of healing? "Mm. Ever, you know how I was talking about helping you learn your Spring Court abilities?"
She turns to look at me, before noticing my gaze on her hand. Her look of immediate shock is pretty damn adorable. "Um. What is that?"
I feel like I have to be as honest as possible. "I'm not altogether sure actually. It's not something I am familiar with. I think it must be a spell similar to healing, but it is more like you are blocking the emotions around us." It's a little exciting to know that she might be able to offer this help to me in the future, but we should definitely test its limits at some point. It would be an advantageous tool if she could replicate it. I have to admit I'm curious what prompted the ability in the first place though, or at least her subconscious attempt at the magic.
