Edwon flinched when it moved towards him, but then forced himself to hold still. If it wanted to kill him, it would have already. The touch was uncomfortable, cold, and its presence was still suffocating, but at least it wasn't painful now. That was an improvement.
"I suspected as much," he said. "But they'll still insist on meeting you. My job was just to gather as much information as I could, though."
He was never given any instruction to bring what he found back to Dormund Kaas. Why would they, when they'd expected him to fail, when these caves were supposed to induce madness in anyone who walked here. But that gave him a loophole, which meant he didn't have to fight this thing if it didn't want to come with him. He could just let it go.
If he thought it was safe.
