Krenth's eyes were unreadable, especially now that he had been corrupted even further. However, he could tell how Naro was feeling, to a degree. He backed up a bit, still looking at the girl in front of him.
"My spell failed. I was going to die here, in this very room. I knew it, I felt the spell backfire. And yet, when you touched me...it was like you took the power into yourself. You saved my life, Narophne Telgve. For that, I am in your debt."
The tall man paused, still trying to figure out exactly what happened. "And yet, just as you saved my life, you nearly ended it..." Oh yeah, she almost killed him. Inadvertently, yes, but it still could have happened. Anger began to spread across his face, and vanish just as quickly as it appeared. He had to remain calm, collected. Now was not a time of emotion. "What were you thinking? What exactly caused you to disrupt my spell?"
