It wasn't that he didn't heed Freya's words before that it would help quell that hollow feeling; he just didn't expect to feel it so... tangibly. It puzzled his senses as he stared down at their hands.
It was quite some time more before he caught himself and let go. "Ah--... my apologies. I was not as prepared as I had thought/" His stare was transfixed upon his outstretched hand as he spoke. "...This is their means to empower the city? The mind reels."
