Are
As if burned by the sudden movement, Are's hand snaps back, involuntarily reaching for the belt but stopping half way. It rests. Content that it wasn't more than the hasty reaction of someone... Odd. Eyes previously warm and thrilled narrowed and muscles tightened. Prepared for something Are didn't even know himself could be coming. Breathe, you oaf. The shock of the cool air hitting his teeth made them shiver, yet they remained gritted for the moment.
"Not one for pleasantries. Point taken." the cobbler muttered and cautiously removed himself half a step from the stranger. Suddenly aware of how much more palpable the pressure had become, from soft hands to forge tongs over his head.
"Forgive me. I'm not from here." he said and regained composure with a sigh. "The barrier..." Are stated, voice tentative. "The 'Voice', does it know when it falls?" he asked of things far beyond his own understanding. A drowning man grasping for any solid hold, desperate to make sense of what was happening.
