She didn't know what to make of it--it could've even been a trick of the light, but with the information she was slowly collecting, she decided she couldn't ignore it.
And something about it was unnerving--she was blunt to magic, but she still knew her gut. She rubbed her thumb across the middle ring on her hand, feeling the runes on its inner curve press into her skin. “And... you could just... sense these things?” she added onto Wise's question.
It wasn't such a wild proposition or question, Emily thought. People claimed to be empaths or psychic or spiritually sensitive all the time. This might be that or something similar.
