Moving and drying the furniture was simple enough, but as Alys went to move one final cushion, she accidentally grabbed onto something decidedly not cushion-y. Now, normally, she might have yelped, or sworn, or thrown the tangleweed down, thinking it was a spider or some such thing, but with this particular little piece of fauna, she merely stared at it as though stuck in a trance.
Sascha, recognizing that something was wrong, bleated at Talyson with alarm, as though the courier could do something that she couldn't about the thing in her bonded's hand. Alys didn't notice. The room was starting to darken and blur around the edges, everything around her taking on a poisonous shade of purple -
Then Asra was there, asking sharply if Alys was alright, and the seer shook herself as though rising from a dream - or a nightmare. She dropped the tangleweed as though it had burned her and stared at it where it rolled about on the floor. "Don't touch it," she warned, her skin crawling. "It feels evil."
