Emily listened carefully and she could tell how important this was to Natalie. Of course having gone through the sickness herself, she knew the dangers of it first hand. It could kill, but the key to stopping it was learning how to control the magic within them. Emily thought then of Thalia, a woman she had helped learn to control her power. Emily hadn’t checked in on her in a long time. It might be worth reaching out soon. Thalia was an artist, if she remembered correctly.
”Well, if you ever need help with that, let me know. I have some experience in helping people get through the sickness,” she said, light heartedly. ”It would be great if we could find a way to help people before they get sick though.”
Emily’s mood went somber for a bit at that thought. Emily was a kind hearted person, but the Moscow business world could be pretty harsh. She had learned to consider the consequences of her actions - the good and bad. And Lucio - Emily had known that had she found him, she would have hurt him. She flat out approved of his assassination, and allowed her husband to actively participate in it. Early detection would be a good thing, but it could also be dangerous. Like so many things it could be used the wrong way. People taking channelers to run tests on them against their will to say nothing of the Atharim who might use it to kill those before their power manifested itself. Still, Emily considered - maybe she could have some researchers working on that.
Emily returned to her cheerful mood only a moment later. ”Anyways - like I said - let me know if you’d like some help there too. Also before I forget…” Emily pulled her wallet out of her purse and sent Natalie Rachel’s contact information. ”Rachel’s number - I’ll give her yours to - in case she wants to help.”
Emily put her wallet back and pulled out a small box covered in wrapping paper. ”Inkmow you’re not one for keepsakes, but I saw this and I thought of you. Merry Christmas, Natalie.” Emily placed the present on the table.
