She ended up waiting almost five minutes before Rossie left her room and sat at the dining table, the pink-haired girl was haggard and looked as if she hadn't slept at all. If not for the fact that she had seen it sleeping soundly before she would have thought that she had spent the night awake.

"Morning Eli-Eli...sorry for having you wake me up..." Said the pink-haired girl while sitting herself at the table. "...You even did the breakfast..." Added while scooping some of the fried eggs and giving it a taste. "...Or your skill did it anyway." Smiled Rossie while tasting the food.

How did she know?

Elizabeth gave it a test and...Did it taste good? Not as good as Rossie's food... But definitely better than what she could do... Her cooking...Wasn't the best as she liked simpler foods for ease of preparation and fast serving. It was a miracle she could keep her figure with how badly she used to eat while her mother and father were out for long-time missions...

"You feeling okay Rossie?" Asked the blonde while musing why the little girl was a better cook than herself. "You don't look too good" Worried Elizabeth.

For her part, her friend just smiled "You don't look too good either Eli-Eli." Pointed the pink-haired girl. Granted she indeed didn't feel that good and mainly was posturing...How had Rossie picked that up?

"I have passive magics that give me the health status of people around me. Standard [Healer] package." Said the girl while making visible a graphic that showcased her estimated health to mana status. "Also you did give me this [Identify]." Added the pink-haired girl while intoning the name of [Her Skill], she felt a mana wave suffice the air in front of Rossie as it traveled towards her and then back to the pink-haired girl.

And with that, a prompt surfaced in front of her while the world seemed to slow down.

Notice:

A lower-priority user is requesting access to [Inheritor]'s Data.

Grant Access? Y/N

Level of Information Access? Low / Medium / High

[Note: No sensitive information will be shared regardless of the access level granted.]

She found it...Interesting, it was the first time her [Skill] was showing this much activity...And it was because of the pink-haired girl. This made her wonder if Selen could do the same...

Or was it because she had [Linked] with Rossie?

Either way, she willed her answers to the suggested options. The ones that called her more strongly...She wondered why the [High] level was shown like that. But for now, she would leave Rossie in [Medium]. Not because she wanted to hide information from her... But more because she didn't want for her friend to use the skill in herself only to find the stuff she had hidden from her.

About the state of her [Soul] and the reason why. She didn't want to risk it.

For better or worse, the time seemed to return to normal, and seeing the expectation face Rossie was making she said "So that's how it feels?" She didn't feel anything besides how the mana wave had resonated with her. And she could see the blue screen in front of Rossie.

It showed her basic information, the name of her skill, and her [Origin], but it didn't show the subset skills she had. Nor many of her skills now that she was seeing it closely...

"Oh right, sorry, let me see if I can make it visible for you too." Said the pink-haired girl.

But she could see it already..."There, it should be visible to all now." Said Rossie, the blue screen turned a little more solid in its color, while before it was almost translucid now it looked more as if a glass window.
