There is a moment of silence that follows as Inessa speaks to her. It is one where she simply stares off into the distance without much of an expression, her fingers drumming out an unknown tune and helping to calm her nerves.

"The red lyrium... it must have done something to change the entire process. The mages we lost in Weisshaupt did not look like that either when they became abominations." It is the only thing she can imagine as to why everything went so, so wrong.

Quietly, she stops drumming her fingers and offers one hand to Inessa to take if she wants. She cannot think of the words to help but perhaps this gesture would help to let her friend know that she'll be here. She'll help in whatever way she can.
