Valdis doesn't know if she regained control on her own or if it simply gave it back after making a point, but maybe it's not something worth testing. Siffleur is right though, if she can take from him without killing him she knows she can safely resume gathering energy from her friends.

Valdis places her hand in his and reaches out to his soul, she feels the consciousness of his mother brushing against them both, but she keeps the two of them separated drawing only from Siffleur. His soul is strong and confident like always. The Void doesn't shift in the darkness or make any moves and she only draws a small amount from the werecougar. He will be left tired, but nothing a catnap won't fix. After a few moments, she withdraws her hand.

"How do you feel?"
