[ Frankly, these kind of distances between them work just fine with Nier - Strictly professional, if not with slightly animosity underlying beneath it. She did have some doubt about Lobelia actually willing to show his card when she asked him due to the nature of the pactbearers and their primal beasts, but as he seemed to be at least willing to do that... That works the best.
Nier eyes him, silently, thoughtfully, mainly right at the card and the sudden change of atmosphere around him. Though Nier is incapable to get the full grasp of the summoned being, it's clear that his primal beast is by his side and this... makes things complicated. As obviously shown from the way Nier's pupil dilate in shock at this. To make it even clearer that she's undergoing something mentally, Nier also immediately grabs her hair with one hand in seemingly, frustration. ]
...Yours are here... How... Why...?
[ In return, Nier grabs her own card from her robe's pocket, the one and only The Death, and flips it face up just like Lobelia did earlier. The difference is, while the aura of strong magic does soon emanate from her tarot card and still possess the dangerous vibe, it's considerably weaker especially when compared to Lobelia, which soon turns obvious as Nier herself name it down- ]
...Death... She's not here...! I CAN'T FEEL HER NOR I AM ABLE TO SPEAK WITH HER-! Why... How is this possible? Did she abandon me...? Am I not good enough...!? Tell me, how is this even POSSIBLE-!?
[ -That The Death, is no more. Or at least her physical form, considering the 'blessing' of the primal beast is still intact as it still gives Nier the magic prowess and capacity and the capability of, while not immortal anymore, regenerate pretty fast from the death door.
On one hand though, losing Death might be the push Nier has always needed to step out into shaping herself into a better self. On the other hand, it happened too fast for her to take and being the paranoid girl she has always been, it's relatively impossible for her to just keep the matter down anymore. She knows that Lobelia is probably the least helpful person out there, but right now, the only one who could give her the explanation is probably him. Not even the captain of Grandcypher would be able to. ]
