"Has the Augur explained what may happen should the day come when the island is well and truly self-sufficient?" She could imagine, based on the information he had given her thus far, numerous scenarios. Some more pleasant than others. But maybe she was just thinking too far ahead for something she did not know well herself yet.
She stepped closer, towel held to her chest, keeping only a few inches of space between them when she leaned in to observe the card. Reading it over only made her cheeks grow hotter, and those leylines along her skin brighten once again. A softly muttered 'sexual challenges'? said not so much to Eskel as it was her attempt to make the concept make some modicum of sense. She said nothing of some of the things she saw on that card - quickly standing straight again and clearing her throat. "I see." a glance to her own wrist and the bracelet it now bore, her desire to see what the Augur had requested of her continued to be ignored, for now.
"An understatement, no doubt." She was already overwhelmed. But this wasn't the worst scenario she had ever been in, and she was confident once she got over the initial shock she would manage. Well enough, anyway. "I appreciate you being so candid with me, Eskel."
