Gannala approached Yennda, ignoring the latter's unwillingness as she touched him and began to seep her influence into his body. There were too many people around her, supporting her. As a result, Yennda was unable to either resist or make excuses.
He watched as he was accepted as part of Gannala's immune system, causing his Mammoth Clansman's characteristics to flare up in response. To date, without the influence of his Empyrean Tusk, Yennda had remained his own person, despite the troubles he had encountered.
But that all changed once Gannala touched him. 'Is this how things are going to be?'
He sighed despondently but was stunned to see Gannala lean forward and whisper in his ears, "I won't restrict you in the slightest. If you're capable enough, you'll receive my support, similar to how my predecessor supported all seven."
