"Yes please."

She pulls her up.

"...found another effect."

"What's this one do?"

"I think I could share my artifact effects. They might go in their pairs though, which I don't know how they match up, and one of them has 'teleport to another universe' as the drawback so..."

"How do you feel about helping someone who was tortured into doing the bidding of a very evil person escape trial?"

"...tentatively positive?"

"How do you feel about never having to deal with someone who knows anything about your past that you didn't choose to tell them ever again?"

"If this is a cruel joke--"

"Nope."

"What do you want from me." This last is addressed to Annie.

"I... want to test my powers-and-side-effects to see how they connect up so I know how usefully they can be shared with people who don't want to risk any possible side effect I might be carrying?"

"Okay. Please. What do you need to do."

"I think it's touch range. I'll do the languages thing first, you'll want that if you go to another universe..." She goes over to her and holds out her hand.

The white haired woman unbinds her hands--and then the rest of her, because she'd probably bring those along and that would be bad.

The Black Opal Guardian touches Annie's hand.

And Annie transfers the language thing.

She purses her lips and looks between the two.

"Faceblindness," she diagnoses.

"I hadn't even noticed that one, I'm actually blind," mutters Annie, "how many of these things did I hit... okay, here's my weird sense."

She makes a face. "...Deafness and blindness. I don't think I like this one much."

Annie undoes it. "Here's my healing."

"I can't tell what the other thing is supposed to be."

"How many of the fucking things - okay, do you want to keep it and risk being surprised by the side effect or not have it?"

She hesitates, then says, "Take it off."

Annie takes it off. "The only other benefit I've noticed so far is the sharing thing itself, which might or might not let you share the language effect."

"Any other downsides?"

"I'm really uncomfortably warm, and there's a psychological effect."

"What kind of psychological effect?"

"I... would rather not try to have a conversation about it until after things are more stably calmed down."
