Ascendancy returned, dressed, thankfully, as Jensen was considering Aria's remarks. He had nodded to the affirmative that he could heal. It felt odd agreeing so openly. He could feel all the eyes on him, but unlike when the viewership of a nation turned upon him, he felt exposed and vulnerable now. When he'd taken the stage he felt confident, powerful. Ironic given the change in circumstances.
Admitting to the ability to heal made him want to look away, but somehow he found himself looking between Ascendancy, Marcus, and Aria as though some invisible bonds wove them all together. No such thing existed, but he almost sensed a melding of lives that otherwise made no sense. Only, there was a different flavor of the kinship with Ascendancy and Marcus that didn't yet exist with Aria. If he closed his eyes, he was almost certain he'd know the two men stood in his presence.
With Ascendancy watching, the man that wielded so much power that Jensen wept with awe, he was glad to delay using the Gift just a few more moments.
He answered Aria, "I have never tried to focus the Gift on one part of a person before. I don't claim to understand any of it, but all I know is that when I touch you, I will sense every ache and wound you have. If there is more, I don't know what to expect. You've been blessed by this Gift before, then? I don't understand what was taken from you that you wish to retain?"
A scar maybe? They held sentimental value sometimes. Whatever else it was, he couldn't guess.
