[@alexakeehl][@Kenshi] Julius's words brought pause to the lich as he realized that he had misinterpreted everything and was draining the essence of a gnome for no reason other than anger towards the two for their insults and trying to prove that his words weren't just empty threats. Except for some odd reason he suddenly felt like he had done something wrong, how odd a feeling it was for a heartless creature like himself to feel remorse for his ill-considered actions against the two. He let go of the gnome, dropping him to the floor and stepped backwards almost seeming horrified by what he was doing. It wasn't usually the way he dealt with others as it had been a millennia since he even had to interact with anyone.
