Next to being unable to fend off their captors, this moment makes her feel the loss of her magicks keenly. She gives a nod, though it's clear that it weighs on her as well. Disoriented and weak from...whatever it was that she fell from is one thing, but being unable to weave aether makes her feel incomplete.

"It's as if I've lost one of my senses."

She may not have Y'shtola's mastery and sight through aether, but aetherial manipulation has been second nature to her all the same, long before she realized what it was that she was doing.

She's not surprised that Estinien suffers as well, but he also does not need to rely on aether to prove himself a threat.

"...It looks like you didn't let that stop you."
