She said laughing a kind of deeper but still light-hearted half-giggle. She watched Jack only a few moments for his reaction to this before continuing. "I have traveled here from Italy in search of others with the same affliction as I have." Pausing to take another sip, she thought of what to say next and spoke again as she silently set her cup back down. "Like Valoren, whom I met not long after arriving here last night, I sense you have the same sort of affliction we do." Intently she looked into his eyes, simply waiting for what would be the most obvious next questions for Jack to have.<em>What affliction? And how do you know I have it?</em>
