( once the paladin's left his body, he feels hollowed out and weak. not physically, he feels fine there but to have that happen again?

well, he doesn't want to deal with it and he doesn't want to talk about it. it takes everything in him to not just walk out of this place and keep walking.

but, doing something to keep busy might help so he follow some others down to the room and stands back while they investigate ravine that runs through the room. he doesn't get near it, standing with his arms crossed while he waits. )
