In that moment that froze in time, the system decided that he wouldn't have to lie anymore, so what he was, who he was, returned to him in a flash.
This wasn't his first, or even his second time waking up from such a state, so he was able to handle it much more smoothly than he had before. He gave no outward sign of suddenly becoming a different person; inside, though, he once again dwelled on what the elf had said, but for once, he found that a decision that Daniel had taken was actually a good one.
Of course, the only issue was that Mors was giving no details, whatsoever, about the favor. Judging by how powerful he was going to be…it could be something like asking him to go up against an undefeatable foe, but the more he looked into the elf's golden eyes, the more he believed that this was not someone who would take advantage of him in such a way.
