Audric brings a hand to his neck, dazed for just one second, then anger snaps him out of it. It probably isn't very wise, and he would do better to follow his first instict and ignore the thing inside Paral completely, but by Aldaran, it feels good to leash out all the stress and uncertainty on... something, and anger feels like the perfect antidote for his doubts and fears. He narrows his eyes as he hisses out menacingly "What do I think I am? I am a member of the Order. I am a paladin of Aldaran. My duty is to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and punish those who seek to harm them." he says, eyes flashing. He is breathing hard, and he isn't slumping anymore "I have every right to bind you, and I'll do whatever is in my power to stop you. What do you think you are, you abomination?"
