She was distracted by the notion, expression full of contemplation and wonder. Liam asked the obvious question as more or less the same thing occurred to Cali, but she hadn’t sensed anything – or she didn’t think so. Inwardly she searched for the light as Seraphis had showed her after the ritual, but it wouldn’t come, probably because Cali was currently flushed with curiosity and in a cafe full of people. When she coaxed plants it was never so difficult as this was; but that gift came instinctively, where this one took effort.
“I don’t know,” she admitted after a moment. “I was excited to tell you, but I barely even know what I’m doing yet. Veilwardern Seraphis says there is a glow when women use it, but I’ve never seen it.” She glanced once more at the door, wondering about dragging Liam after her to see if they could find them, but time with her brother was scarce and she didn’t want to spend it that way. If Nora was meant to return to the Sanctuary, she would.
“It feels like sunshine. Like the warmest summer day, when everything falls just perfect,” she added as she turned her full attention back to her brother. It wasn’t the same feeling that led her during the sound bath, but she didn’t know how to explain that, and she had no desire to mention Samiel to Liam. “If I can do it, do you think you could too?”
