Mal was surprised when a girl asked to help him find Rena " Er... Thanks. She looks like-" "" "Oh... um... she looks like that girl over there" he pointed "But thank you for the help". Just as Malachi was about to respond to Fuu, something happened. A red, snake-like tendril leaped out the crystal and latched onto a man to Mal's left. Right before his eyes, the man turned into some kind of red energy. Looking around, the same was happening all around. "What the fu-!?" before Mal could even finish, a tendril latched around his right arm. Clenching his eyes, Mal was expecting pain... but nothing came. Instead, a massive rush of energy filled his body, like nothing he'd ever felt before.
Laecora immediately reached for Mal (as far as her chains would allow) once the red light faded from his body. "Are you okay?! What happened? Are you hurt anywhere?" One hand was desperately patting around her skirting to look for anything she could use for first aid if the need arose, but nothing was found. Her mind was churning, aqua eyes desperately searching around the room for some kind of connection between those who seem to have survived the crystal's touch when the red light reached out to her own body. The medic in her desperately fought to remain calm and catalogue what was happening to her in an attempt to understand. The rest of her mind won over as she attempted to dodge the tendril and failed due to the chains.
Her mind didn't calm once the energy filled her body, but her inner-medic took note of the fact that she seemed to be benefiting somehow from the crystal's tendril... for now?
