She needed help getting up, the same way that Cass had after he'd spoken to the gods. Edgar and Fiona noticed that she was up, but judging from the floaty, ethereal look on Lady Ava's face, she hadn't noticed and hadn't come down from her high of speaking to them.
She really did look intoxicated, and she squeezed Cass' hand tightly in her own.
"That was amazing. I haven't been able to speak to them in so long. Thank you, Cass. I can't begin to explain what you've just done for me." Lady Ava looked like she was going to cry again, and Cass had no idea what to do in this situation.
"Uh, you're welcome?" Cass offered hesitantly, and Lady Ava smiled wide, giggling.
