After a while, Vivian calmed down and recovered to her normal self, at which time Eldrian apologized again and told her he needed to check what was going on with him before they could talk. She nodded and gave him some space, Eldrian quickly focusing into himself to check what was going on.
The first thing he found was that his heart was beating really fast, even doubting this and taking his pulse to confirm. It was truly beating too fast, as if he had just finished running.

It working so hard continuously would lead to early failure, but High Elves were near-immortal, so he did not know if their hearts could have the same problems.
