Amidst the thrill of adrenaline rush, Orion snapped back into reality, as if woken up from delirium. Suddenly, hair on the back of his hand stood on end, a physical manifestation of the baleful premonition coursing through his entire being. "What was i doing?" Orion question his own zoneput. It was very unlikely of him, to let his emotions take control. Specially something so simple and primal as excitement. To understand the situation, He inertly directed his gaze towards the spymaster. He wasn't sure if his earlier excitement had been obvious or not, but the staring eyes of Casus, gleaming with a satisfied green, told him everything. He had been seen through.
Orion's breath steadied as he regained his control, suppressing the unwarnted thrill that had momentarily consumed him. Casus's penetrating gaze seemed to dissect every layer of his mind, and Orion knew that any hint of impatience had been noted. This was not just a test of knowledge but game of conversation.
