His voice is low, firm and steady. A rock to grasp hold of, amidst the thundering waves of an angry (he is so very angry beneath the surface) violent ocean storm. He moves his fingertips to curl around the necklace, merely needing to touch it to allow the Karma stored there to surge into his system.
The Light in him briefly FLARES as the strange, unfamiliar (but yet familiar all at once) Karma clashes, two different currents of energy sparking and misfiring until they realize they are both on the same side.
"Do not let go of me. Even if you go under, do not let go of me."
His voice sounds old, powerful. Powerful in ways that even he will struggle to understand later, when he revisits this moment in his mind (which he will do countless times in the coming moments, hours, days) and heart.
Pressing his forehead closer to hers, curling his hand around the shaft of the arrow lodged in her chest (he ignores the barbs that prick his hand) he keeps his gaze steady - the fear gone from his eyes, replaced with something stronger (power, Karma, Light) that has pushed the emotion completely from his body.
