[ He gets it. Neither of them had had a choice, and it was—one of those experiences he'd rather not repeat. As much as the incident itself doesn't sit right with him, it bothers him more to have this. Disturbance. Between them. ]
I know. [ Perhaps what makes it difficult is there isn't anyone to blame. Other than, what. The so-named old gods? The Singularity? Forces unknown? He's a little tired of being jerked around like fucking puppets. ] That sort of magic usually doesn't affect me.
[ He isn't sure if he should acknowledge that he suspects at least one of the reason it did is that it was Nadine. That he knows her and trusts her, that she's someone he'd have killed for without hesitation. Outside of Nadine, those influences had been minimal for him in the real world. Only in the Horizon had it gripped him fully.

I am glad you're safe. [ There are worse outcomes to have befallen them. His only other concern has been the bodies—but that's a hitch for the future. He's banking on monsters devouring the corpses being good enough for Cadens to turn a blind eye.
Either way, Nadine hadn't lifted a finger. Technically. His problem to shoulder if anything, which makes it simpler. ]
