Aiden finally got what he was looking for, from both his targets. Courage, coming from the boy who decided to rise and fight against the psychopath. He focused first on that, enhancing his feelings of self-esteem and self-worth as much as he could, before changing his focus to the other part. Luke. There was something stopping him from outright killing the other, like he had done before, and while Aiden couldn't really be sure of what it was, he could feel it. Feel it like it was his own emotions, making him shake with the overwhelming feeling. But he had to do something. He wasn't a fighter, at least not like the other were, but he wasn't a coward, either. What he could do, he would. So he focused on that feeling alone in Luke, heightening it, lowering everything else he could find, just to make sure that whatever Luke did, he at least wouldn't kill the other. Aiden would make sure that Luke's need to make the other join him overpowered his want to kill.<br/><br/>He shuddered with the other sudden wave of fear he was getting from everyone around him and growled, closing his eyes and finally negating it. Around him, there was no more fear, and while that could be dangerous, he needed to focus on Luke, needed to make him stop killing. And the fear was distracting him.<br/><br/>Aiden picked something else up, and turned to the girl Kithara had been talking to. After a moment, he decided to also intensify her admiration for the boy. If she cheered him up, maybe he would fight better.<br/><br/>The effort he was making, however, of controlling so many people at the same time, was tiring, and he bit his lip. He couldn't falter now. So Aiden kept focused, doing what he could to help the others.
