Goodness... [She covers her mouth lightly at his story, because, well. It's horrifying!] I'm sorry to hear that...
But I am glad you got out, and that you've had one another up until now.
Celine's usually been the decision-maker, between the two of us. She's my familiar, but... she's always taken care of me, rather than the other way around. Without her, now...
It's sad. [She moves her hand over into her hair, twirling a lock of it around her finger nervously.] I could tell you anything I've ever read in a book, I could help you study for any test under the sun... but when it comes to things like this, I feel like I know nothing at all.
[So it's like the Railway Guns, or whatever happened to Garrelia, if not worse...
Emma swallows hard. That just makes the whole thing that much more chilling.]
No wonder you feel even more strongly about it... I'm sorry. I really wish I knew what else to say in times like this...
[Unfortunately, witches aren't highly trained in empathy. Emma's a bit of an outlier, and she's trying, but... oof, man. Yikes.]
Well... she is a black cat, although not every familiar is so cliche. [A little smile. She knows, at least?] But she can speak, and she's got some magic of her own – mostly to bolster mine, although she can act on her own in at least some capacity.
She has a deeper knowledge of the legends behind our duty than even I do, though.

What's a familiar, anyway? It sounds like more than just a black cat, like in stories.
