Draiss couldn't actually kill Black like he wanted, but he was permanently sealed and stripped of all power, as he tried to work out how best deal with him. The strange behavior was just odd at first, and he shook his head during most of it, acting amused, until Ama tried to walk away mid-sentence. He asked her about it, and she didn't even remember the break or why she had turned away. After the second time it happened, he finally grumbled, before sending a request to Gammon for a consultation, needing to discuss a possible temporal fragment regarding him. He sent the message several times, just to make sure it got to Gammon and it would remember, before settling back, still sending out messages until either Gammon replied or arrived.
