By Ascendancy's reaction Aria was sure that she'd sent him most of her power. Not enough to cow him - which was slightly disappointing to Aria but she didn't let it show.
His voice had returned to the super cool and collected voice of the man who had entered the room. He phrased the statement very correctly. It was what she said. She smiled. "I said I couldn't feel anything."
Her smile turned to a smirk. "I would have assumed as you that the remainder of my ability was not intact. But that doesn't seem to be the case. I never thought to try and manipulate a persons emotions while not feeling anything. If you hadn't grabbed me, I don't suppose I would have found out."
Aria stepped away from the Ascendancy to indicate she wasn't a threat. "I did not know that would happen. Without the ability to feel your emotions I don't know how bad it was - what the damage that could have been. I've never manipulated a person to stay as they were as I manipulated them. I doubt I could do what my father does ... what he did without constant contact. My control seems to be less without the other part. Touching me in the future should probably be avoided."
Though Aria was certain she could control when she manipulated someone, just not what she sent them. That was a different control, a mental one she'd learned much later in life. It reminded her of the time she'd met Dane - how uncontrolled her emotions had been then when he'd grabbed her. Except she'd not meant to show Dane her emotions then. She had reacted to Ascendancy with instinct with her trained ability. She smiled softly to herself. It was good to know part of her remained intact.
