Her? Surprise flickered across her face, as she took in the 'compliment' and accompanying gift the monkey paid her. Dramyrth darted down from her withers to inspect the orb as it crackled and rolled towards her, intent on destroying anything that might harm his beloved before it had a chance to. "I-" the dragonmare began, forgetting whatever it was she was going to say to the creature almost immediately as it disappeared in another shower of wails and shouting.
"Thank you?" she said dumbly instead, before bending to inspect the orb her companion dutifully guarded. As her maw reached out to touch it, a strange sensation overtook her senses, as her eyes felt like they would burst from her skull, as pain lanced through her mind. She was also immobilised, seemingly for an age, forced to endure the suffering with a bowed head and eyes pinched tightly shut. The dragon-king beside her felt echoes of the effects across the bond they shared, for it seemed to affect her mind, and therefore his mind too - he grew angry, and called out a harsh, ugly, enraged cry as he fought off the effects.
Then, as suddenly as it had begun, it ceased, and Amaris felt different for it. It was similar to what she had felt after their experience at the Heart, with the fire-cheetah.. The monkey had declared he was giving out magic after all - exactly what magic was yet to be confirmed, though the dragonmare and her companion felt like they had a good idea.
