So he, too is fine... the Exarch finds himself glancing aside, wondering why he barely feels any sense of relief to hear it. P'rihnn is as much a hero as Felih, as committed to helping everyone as Felih is, but it's so hard now to even know what he feels.
He knows that right now, however, he cornered. The crackling of aether around him hasn't stopped building and grows stronger by the moment as he fights the urge to throw him back once more and retreat. How can he look at him and think he can still be called Raha? How can he even think to show him any manner of affection after putting him through so much.
"I'll not say," he says, voice slipping back into forced, hushed, calm. "'tis more than I can bear to say. Never you mind me - I am far beyond saving." He meets Felih's eyes again, only for a moment before the building aether bursts again, hoping it will force him back. "Please, I beg you - save them, out there. They need you far more than I!"
