    Summary

    In a shocking display, the unfamiliar drow began to speak Zemnian: “Entschuldigung, aber mein Zemnisisch ist nicht gut genug für dieses wichtige Gespräch." He took one step closer, in small increments as if approaching a wild animal. “Bren.”

    “How-” His throat caught as his heart seized. Fuck. He’d already slipped up. Master Ikithon was going to be furious. “No, you have the wrong-”

    “No need to lie.” The elf lifted his palm. His violet eyes caught Bren’s frantic gaze, and he visibly came to a decision. “Bren, you are suffering from acute psychic temporal displacement. I highly suspect it is due to a magical experiment we just performed.”

    “Amnesia,” he translated. “You- You’re saying I have amnesia. Memory loss.”
