Then he noted a build up in energies as the eagle was dispersed. His eyes narrowed, though his smile remained, and he shifted the location of his shield, swiveling it around his body in the space of a second. However, the maneuver was still not fast enough as her ability took hold, slamming him with a sensation of weight. It was only a slight increase, but it was sudden and so he, outside of his conscious control, took a step back. As he did so, her weapon was likely pulled from her grasp by Metentis' grip, an act occurring purely by chance. Still, while Timore recovered the metallic serpent struck forth, lunging at her throat from only a foot and a half away. She'd have minimal time to respond, and it would also keep her busy for the moment that Timore recovered. As he did so, he felt the guilt and weight fade somewhat and he called forth his essence once more, weaving it back up and around him where it had briefly fallen during his recovery from the strange spell. His humming and tongue clicking had stopped, but he resumed it now, the tone and mood of it shifting as he began to weave the emotion of rage out of his necklace and into the essence that surrounded him along with the joy that was already there. He didn't mix the two emotions, as he didn't feel secure enough to do so in that moment. The other effect that would quickly become evident to his adversary was the effect caused by his blade as the weapon seemed to [i]burn[/i] within her, though in actuality it was just an intense sensation of burning it caused, rather than a real one. Additionally, the blade was pulling blood from her body at a steady rate as long as it had remained within her form. Last of all to note was that with Timore taking a step back, the blade had been pulled further into her body, perhaps poking or piercing her lung.
