Princess Tori hesitated for a moment, startled that he could guess things so easily. How did he do that? After a moment, Tori slowly pulled her hand from his (she wasn't fond of being touched so casually. Particularly by men. She was a princess after all.), trying to be as polite as possible while still asserting herself, all the while watching him carefully from underneath heavy eyelashes. She didn't know what he was playing at. And that worried her a bit. But she would play along. "Why... your concern is quite..." she searched for a suitable word. The one her mind came up with, made her cringe a bit mentally. Oh how she loathed games like this, where two persons (usually nobles) were merely batting back and forth such little and useless nothings. "...endearing. But, I'm afraid I have not a notion of what you are speaking of, Sir Matthews. Stress is a common factor in everyone's life. From the poor to the rich. You learn to live with it or crumple under its weight." She murmured in her airy way. Seemingly perfectly at ease. Suddenly her mind switched to a brilliant idea and after a long moment, she dropped her head and slumped her shoulders, her neutral 'mask' crumbling. Suddenly looking like the perfect picture of a stressed out and almost defeated princess that had been hiding behind a noble's pride. She sank into her chair, her forehead falling into her palm, her dress dancing about her ankles with a soft, whispering sounds "And I suppose I would fall under those whom are crumpling." She whispered, just barely loud enough for him to hear, her eyes on the ground. "I just don't know what to do..."

She murmured. She grinned and used her other hand to trace it over her stone, as her fingers ran over it, the rough parts suddenly fell away and the stone grew. Now in her hand was a palm-sized sphere. "Its a memory orb." she breathed, her eyes on the stone, as she spoke, green magic made her words animated as it dragged over the stone. Suddenly, memories began to flutter across the stone, seeping out to dance around Ysmay's head. "You can use it to see your own memories, to show someone, or you can use it to find out the memories of others. Its a very good tool to use." Ysmay murmured. The scene began to morph into the memories from moments ago, when Ysmay had first seen Luka. She offered the stone to Luka. "All you need is for the other person- or yourself- to use magic in the presence of the stone. You try." She murmured, cutting off her magic.
