Once Alicia was finished with her mini-monologue, Katie sat in silence for a moment, trying to register everything she had just told her. It wasn't even that it was terribly much, it was just...what?
After a second she shook her head slightly, as if to clear her thoughts, and exhaled slowly. "Whoa. You weren't lying about 'lots' happening, were you?" Katie glanced around slightly, even though she had seen Alicia do the charm, a bit unnerved by it all. She was still a bit jumpy, St. Mungo's couldn't cure that after-effect.
Another second of silence, and then, in more a statement than a question. "Everything's just gone mental around here, hasn't it?"
