The stairs are okay, but the apparent altitude change is not - his head swims slightly in a strange way he's never experienced before, one hand resting against Seoraj's arm to steady himself. His gaze is unfocused and downward, distant in a way that leaves him calm and only faintly irritated despite having apparently been half through hell. (He's not sure what's causing the after-effects - was he really hurt that badly, or is this the impact of the fog?)

"What happened?" ... Because even out of his mind he's still creepily observant, and he sees what you're up to, Seoraj.
