Nevina, never moving, nevertheless watched the dance with intent interest. Oh, she certainly knew her fair share of divinations, from simple readings to advanced scrying, and while use of trinkets and the like were not uncommon she'd still never seen anything that worked quite like this, nor heard of an "Egrimm" in her life. Obviously this ritual relied specifically upon the use of an artifact, and in a way the elf felt slightly disappointed; she had hoped for a demonstration of Elke's knowledge, not rote memorization for a set of instructions, but even knowing the proper use of the proper tool for the proper task was its own kind of knowledge.
Nevina squinted again against the sun as it returned from behind its veil, and Elke likewise returned from her trance; a shame about the clover patch, it was so pretty. As her erstwhile companion pondered her visions, the elf made for a spot of shade beneath the nearby stand of myrtle, removed and folded her robe into a cushion, and enjoyed the crisp late-morning shade.
"Werewolves?" The crimson-haired woman rested against the tree and regarded the remains of the clearing with barely open eyes as Elke posed her question. She reached above her head, pulling her arms in a long, strained stretch before dropping them to her lap in newfound relaxation. While she was no expert on beasts, but she had read a fair amount in her time. "Hmmm yes, quite fast. Dangerously strong as well, and boundlessly aggressive, with keen senses to seek their prey. If one surprises you, chances are you'll neither escape nor survive the encounter. Even prepared, it's hardly guaranteed."
But a second werewolf? "N-no. No, I did not notice any signs of a second werewolf in Myerleigh, just the one."
No doubt the girl had seen something in her vision to prompt such a question. During her time in the crumbling town, Nevina had only ever seen evidence pointing to the one werewolf, and had only killed the one...but what if there had been a second one that went elsewhere? It was a possibility, and a disturbing one: an unknown werewolf free in the valley, traveling as it pleased. Were that true, news would soon travel of such attacks in the area, but the whole point of the exercise was to quell the "infestation" before it spread beyond Myerleigh. So far, it seems things weren't pointing that way, and this investigation was starting to turn up more questions than answers.
"It's a possibility. Why do you ask, did you see something?"
