[ As Trahearne's mind clears, his (likely) goddess-induced compulsion satisfied, a small number of thoughts come to him.
The first is how warm the other feels in close proximity, that humans radiate in a way sylvari could never hope to do. What soon follows is the recognition of what it feels like to have another's lips on his own--it's not an awful thing. It's just...unusual. Nice, even.
And what comes soon after is the realization that his first kiss has gone to a near stranger. Granted, Trahearne can do much worse than van Zieks--he can appreciate his looks, of course, and he most certainly respects his station and proactive attitude. But this...this is not the ideal situation. What on earth is he doing?!
It's just around the time when van Zieks regains composure and pushes him away that Trahearne startles backwards on his own, extra distance put between them due to the momentum from the shove. His own eyes are wide in shock as he stares at the lawyer, hand over his mouth, partially obscuring the bright golden flush across his cheeks. ]
Pale Mother, I-- I'm so sorry Lord van Zieks. I don't-- I don't know what came over me.
[ How he can look up mushroom cultivation now??? ]
