In the shadows, the man that had all this time just been lurking around, watching Mares as he had been assigned thought to himself with confusion and dread.
He had been taken by surprise by the sudden events just as much as everybody else and had no clue what to do about that.
He couldn't understand how Mares was doing all of that, how he seemingly got rid of the control they should have over his mind.
This shock made him act a bit slower than he should, accidentally giving the silver-eyed time that ended up saving his life.
He debated sending a signal to the base but the fear of making an inaccurate report and wasting resources because of it filled him with dread.
Besides he was still trying to understand how Mares seemingly managed to evade or escape the control the group should have over his mind.
