Harrow almost flinches away from the gentle touch; it's been a long time since she's had skin to skin contact with anyone at all.
The influx of thalergy is bewildering and refreshing. She's never used the Second's vampiric techniques, but she's heard that the victims die screaming. Moiraine seems at peace, though, a lens through which the energy flows from that mysterious Source.
"It's probably for the best that I not learn how to do that to myself," she says, eyes widening.
She lets herself sink back into the chair as the energy settles itself queasily into her thanergenic system. Ironically, with the exhaustion no longer clouding her perceptions, she's more aware of how badly into the red she's driven herself.
