The reaction is instant - to swiftly pull the Exarch's hood back in such a manner here, in the Ocular, where his power is at its strongest is just asking for a retaliatory burst of bright, crackling aether, aimed very specifically to throw his assailant back and away from him. Immediately he turns his face away, pulling his hood back up over his ears in the desperate hope Felih had seen nothing, but he is filled with an icy certainty that his effort is in vain.
"Leave me!" he growls - whatever Felih has to say he does not want to hear it. If he knows... it might raise poor, long-dead G'raha Tia from where he's buried deep in the Exarch's heart, only to kill him once again.
