Even Skellig is surprised by the strength of the wave of raw want and desire that radiates off of Ajax, enough that he is also forced to sip from his wine glass to cover the reaction that threatens to spread across his features.
"There are advantages to going unseen," he interjects.
He transfers his wine glass to the hand that is currently around Kreyu's shoulder, then with the hand that is now free, he reaches over and touches Ajax on the forearm. Kreyu will be able to easily sense the transfer of Light from his 'reserves' - similar to the bump he gave to Kirke and Xenophon earlier, this isn't a HUGE boost, but it is stronger.
"And there is no shame to be had in ducking, either, to avoid appearing as tall as you stand," he adds. "I feel as if the Fates would not view it as cowardice, but instead as strength, knowledge in knowing when to lower your head."
