Elizabeth
By the time she returned, Elizabeth was relieved to see that Alys was already looking less shaken, even Sascha calming enough to rest at her side. It didn't change that something had rattled the seer, but at least it was a distant enough threat that she could rest easy in the cafe.
As Alys began to speak, she leaned forward just enough to be supportive without encroaching. Her voice was warm, like honey in their tea to soothe the emotions. "I'm sure the demigods really appreciate any assistance they can get, no matter how small it may feel." She knew some of what they'd been up to, although admittedly not enough to know what kind of information they might find beneficial.
Cradling her mug, she listened closely to the vision, giving the occasional reassuring smile if she felt that Alys was nervous. It wasn't until the end that she spoke again - after a breath of silence and consideration. Calm and guiding, she asks, "What do you make of it?" She knew her own suspicions, but she wouldn't cast her theories on the woman when she hadn't been the one to see the vision.
