She had been stifling the sound from their conversation. She does that some more.
"Even when I'm not actually physically seeing or hearing things, I mostly operate by sight or sound. I'm not as good at catching things when it's dark and they're quiet. I can sense a bit through other means, but it's not as... I'm not as practiced at them, and it doesn't come as naturally. Something that is still, invisible and silent, I might genuinely miss if I'm not watching for it with the less practiced senses. Especially when I only have so much concentration to go around - I can do magic all day, but I can't do magic to everything all day, because I can't pay attention to everything all at once. Things that are closer are easier than further away - it's even easier if I'm touching them. My problem right now is that I keep having to pay attention to keeping monsters distracted and can't sit down and pay attention to little details in things."
