Intimidation and force were both things Lucanis could shake off easily, especially right now. He had training for it, it was what he was used to facing, what he was used to ignoring.
This, though - so unexpected, it broke through the fugue that had settled over him, the same that had hit right after Treviso had fallen to blight the first time, when he temporarily left Rook's service to try to take care of things where he could. A brief sudden tremor ran through him and he berated himself for even letting that much emotion out. He should be better. He should be better.
His own hands came up, hesitant, wholly unfamiliar and unsure of the action, light against back.
