After a moment of hesitation, she nods. "Okay.."

She rose up over the table, framing her face with both her claws. Her nails gently scratched Lin's cheeks. "This might feel a bit...unpleasant," the oracle hissed and sank her claws into Lin's mind, ripping it open like a paper sack. She shuffled through her head, sorting through memories like photographs, examining them before tossing them aside. Finally, the oracle paused, reaching toward a bright spot of happiness. "Yessssssss," the oracle hissed, sinking her claws into the memory. "I will take this one. Now it is mine." There was a ripping sensation. The oracle watched her over the tablecloth, a pleased smile on her face. Puck was murmuring something that was inaudible and Ash regarded her with a look of pity.

She doesn't do anything.

She looks away, a sympathetic look on her face.

"It is done," the oracle murmured. She lay her hands, palms up, on the table between Lin and herself. "And now I will uphold my end of the bargain. Place your hands in mine, child, and ask."

She hesitantly does so.

She continues looking away, she was listening, but she'd like to imagine that didn't happen to Lin.

Her long nails curled around her fingers. The hag closed her pitted eyes. "Three questions," she rasped, her voice seeming to come from a great distance away. "That is the standard bargain. Three questions I will answer, and I am done. Choose wisely."

"Where is my brother?"
