Kalinda would have laughed if she could have brushed passed the emotions surgining in her now. He thought he had hurt her, but his tight grip. "I'm an Empath. Shattered my blocks. I'll be okay" She managed to get out, trying to take in deep breaths, to gain control of herself, to push away all the emotions, the pain, the frustration, the helplessness, the worry and fear. The wave of calm that came from him when he took her hand, gently this time, allowed her to breathe evenly, and she focused on that. 

She let out a slow breath, and realised that he had drawn her close, and she blinked, somewhat shocked. "um. Hi" She said lamely. "I'm okay now" She tried to smile, "thank you" She continued to focus on the calm he seemed to radiate now, and slowly she relaxed. She was able to reconstruct her blocks, and complete relief flowed through her, as she was just left with her own emotions. 

Which might not have been a good thing.
