@Alex:
I guess it is for Isolde...? She's... sensitive, for lack of a better word. Though she might be getting better this season and in progressing ones, especially since she's joining the knighthood and that will likely make her more confident.
It's probably not all that horrific for normal Nuit. But Isolde's different. Plus she was raised near Syliras, so she grew up with the whole distrust/dislike/fear of Nuit that is common in this area.
