[Now the Batter remembers how much Zacharie liked to talk. Not nearly as frequently or as verbose as the Judge is (was) but he was a chatty person. Also he's touchy. Why.
The Batter doesn't return the hug, but he doesn't push Zacharie away either. It helps that the other man doesn't hold on for too long. He's tempted to take a step back just incase he tries again once the merchant lets go but doesn't. There's your free hug Zacharie. Don't do it again.
He's also not going to address that 'inevitably' comment. There's to many things to say to such a loaded statement.]
It feels no different. There's just more color.
[It's blinding, yes. And there's the urge to drain the colors away again. It's not stopping.]
