Anton followed the emotions within Theron, allowing them to guide his movements. They flew threw Theron. Trauma and humiliation forced away by iron-willed determination and ambition. There was anger there, deep and foreboding. There was also fear. The moments stretched as Anton felt it all. Theron's own stoicism was undermined by everything he felt in those seconds of time.
When Anton let go, it was done quickly. It wasn't fear. He wasn't afraid of what he could do or even the revelations he had by witnessing Theron's emotional map, but it had been unexpected. The shifting had been quick and abrupt. Emotions didn't change like that most of the time, unless something forced it.
Theron's face hadn't changed when it was over, but the surging emotions were there in his calm exterior. Anton stepped back as he let go and took a seat, taking deep breaths. "I felt everything you did, but that's it. I'm sure more was revealed to you in that exchange. Still, my promise to you is that I won't reveal what I...you...felt." Anton wondered if he had seen scenes from a former life as well.
The Luminar was an enigma though. Perhaps this was true with others, but he had never looked for it or simply that they both had a common purpose in this endeavor. "Something was different though. Some emotions," he didn't say which ones. "Were less malleable than they usually are. Stonger, more solid, deeper. Like they had a stronger connection. Never felt anything like that before."
