"Viktoria leaves to return here a lot. I know it's been a place of comfort for her as well." Lissa nodded in agreement. She and Christian often escaped the populated parts of the prison to death row or the solitary sections. Adrian and Jill had their spot outside by their tree that they tended to go to so that they could be alone. Having so many people in one place often took its toll.
She listened closely, trying to understand what Phoebe was telling her. The magic may have been different, but many times the effects on the person were similar. She leaned forward and rested her elbows on her knees, taking all of the new information in.
"No, I understand and it makes perfect sense. There was another Moroi spirit user that I'd often confide in. She was one of my former teachers and her powers were much stronger than mine or Adrian's. We'd only discovered what ours even was. The magic itself takes a lot out of us whenever it's used. Developing the new powers and the changes.. it's hard. Harder than a lot of people realize."
Lissa wasn't sure if there was a way to help Phoebe and her magic herself, but she wanted to try. "How are the powers changing? Are there outbursts you aren't used to?"
