V'elen deals with the panic through the simple expedient measure of grabbing their minds and holding them still, even as it handled the individual conversations with Ama and Nadriina. Once the others had calmed, it reverted to its usual attitude, which Draiss had noted as playful but condescending. It easily deflected the questions that it didn't want to answer, still holding the panicking females still until they calmed, though if they took too long, it would simply render them unconscious, with a public announcement as to its disappointment that its host relied on such weak willed and irrational beings for support. It leaned forward, fully projecting the fact that it was in control, it knew it, it knew that they knew, it knew that they knew that it knew, and that the ones that tried to be cute were going to get burned. It took only a minute to get the conversations with Ama and Nadriina completed, and it simply turned its attention to the females that were still held still, before turning to Jashah.<em>Are you done with antagonizing/insulting/deriding the host/pawn? It attempts to convey the information required, but you fail to understand. We are beyond your comprehension. I/We attempt to use you/your existence, but if you would rather not be used, balefire is painless for your type. Or so the host/pawn has hypothesized. It does its best, but it is limited by only being able to think fully in three dimensions and only forward in the fourth, though it has gotten better about the last. It can't move freely, yet, but I/We are working that.</em>
