I... I told him to stop. It's a lot like a compulsion, except it only affects—
[There's a sort of dawning horror that creeps across his face. It's not like before where he clearly had no idea he could affect the dead passively with his present mindset; he knows what this is, and knew he could do it. He'd somehow thought that, as all of his other energies had shifted toward his now-necrotic nature, so too had his aural influence. That's apparently not the case, if Qubit, who is very much alive, felt it.]
Oh. Oh it- I didn't think it would affect you. I didn't think it could affect you.
[Worse is that it still affecting the living certainly answers just how the Blight Heir could single-handedly bring ruin to an entire region. It wasn't just that he raised the dead already around him, and they killed the people of Bear Den. It's much, much worse than that. It's also a possibility he can't deal with right now if he wants to keep a hold over his growing crew of abominations.]
