[@Zhaliora] Something like a flash bursts through your mind, an immediate slash of dull, searing pain surging after it like a wave crashing down on your psyche. A torrent of unknown syllables wash over and consume your thoughts, followed by another burst of light.

Calieo shrieked, her unshielded elbow swinging back to strike you in the chest. Ripping away from your hands she whirled around, fury in her eyes as she shivered with rage. What thoughts of hers that had been revealed had begun to fade, and your eyes showed a world of muted shades as they readjusted to the light of morning. The exchange of minds had only taken a few seconds, but time now felt dilated, as if coming down from a high. As your mind began to properly recover the suit of glimmering armour before you adopted a less aggressive stance, and the wearer sighed, rubbing her forehead unhappily. "Do not do that. It was... unpleasant," she grumbled, dragging her empty hand down her face before dropping it to her side. A moment of silence later and her attention was elsewhere again, eyes wandering as she nibbled at the slab of dried meat she held.
