"You'll see it!" this was an affirmative thought by the raccoon girl. As they met this witch she seemed to be more scientist than witch, maybe a bit more like a laboratory technician than someone Hikari expected to be living alone in the forest. "Sou ka, that's why she said you were weird..." Hikari thought this was strange but this woman definitely seemed to be more Doctor than witch. Karna went on to appraise the woman, seeming to forget all the more about the Direwolf and his apparent dislike of the lad. Whatever the case, his words met the ears of the woman who walked casually around the room, her eyes transfixed on a glowing globe as she searched for something of importance on the map. "Oh? Those are definitely the words of someone who crossed the void, those from this world... know that all women who originate here tend to be more rather than less... adult ones anyways... Lilura, is the name I am called," she said offering a tiny bit of reassurance to the raccoon lass, who'd already gone about crossing her arms over her chest. She was really getting tired of people having more filled out bodies than hers.
"Alright, big boobed witch doctor lady person... whatever don't care, we have two friends that have the Devouring. Well one definitely does, he's my brother the other might and that isn't good either. And ah... we heard from the Queen of Atlantis that you might know of a way to fix it for them... can you help us out?" she asked of the woman who frowned slightly only to push her glasses up onto her face and have the shining light from the hologram globe obscure her eyes for a moment. "Two of your friends, ones who crossed the void but were not completely taken in by it..." she said with a great deal of knowledge on the subject. "The Devouring appears in those whose link to the world is less than it should be. Those who cross the void with strong ties to this world, experience no ill effects," she commented as she began moving about this room. Magical equipment began floating, pieces that looked like needles and magical vials began moving about being fitted together in a strange way. "Ones like you two, will never experience such sickness," Lilura mentioned looking at both Karna and Hikari for several moments. She knew how Hikari came to be here and knew her tie to the other world was gone completely. Her body had no tendrils coming from its halo. Karna too didn't have tendrils coming from his void halo they were all turned inward. As an example of this she held a vial in the air out in front of her and began filling it with condensed free magic. "If the vessel is made to contain the free magic which is here, then all is fine..." she explained. It was a strange lesson to give though as the vial was soon topped off and moved. What happened next would be the gathering of a different material. Not a magical container but a simple mason jar. "On the other hand, if the the vessel was not made to stand up to the amount of free magic placed within it... It can only hold it for a short time..." she poured the same small amount of liquid from the other vial into this mason jar and topped it. Strangely the magical fluid within expanded rapidly, trying to fill the space completely, until cracks were created and the tendrils of energy began to leak outward and then, the whole of the jar would shatter into dust leaving not even the glass behind. "The Devouring works as such, and will eventually return to the void that which no longer can contain the free magic of this world, nor lack of magic from the other..." this was her explanation but its details seemed to cover why one like Seriri could help at least a little.
