A flash of sheer panic crossed his face, and his fingers curled as if to grasp at something that might support him. There was nothing, though, in this endless corridor of flickering green lights and darkness but Felix and the young man who had found him.
And the ceaseless rushing of the river.
Try as he might, Felix could not find the bright faith of intellect, the certainty of knowledge and words, on which he propped up most of his public persona. Dimly he knew he ought to have a fine and well-spoken answer to the other man's question, confident and wry all at once. He knew that he knew how to craft such a thing, but that glittering sharpness of wit was beyond his reach now.
"Only if he holds you under for too long," Felix answered in a hollow whisper.
