Will's eyes, both in the mental scape and in the real world, widened, her pupils dilating as the vast will of the cosmos flowed into her. A slight gasp escaped her lips, and then she was silent -- both physically and mentally, Miriam's sense of her fading, fading, fading until it was just a quiet hum of background noise; one she'd have to concentrate on to pick up at all.
Out in the real world, Will slowly dissolved, sliding through Miriam's fingers as she slowly pooled on the floor. She wasn't quite a liquid -- more of a malshaped, silvery puck of gel, lying on the floor -- dark and shiny, with twinkles like starlight shining, despite the dullness of the barn atmosphere.
Looking down into it, Miriam could see...well, it wasn't her reflection, per se, but it was Will's face, looking back up at her with the same expression of worry she had on. And, for that matter, the same hairstyle and makeup job, if perhaps not quite as pale as the vampire normally would be.
