[Jaime draws away from Blue with a choked gasp. The sensations cutting off as suddenly as they did puts him off balance for a long, dizzying moment, but it's worth no longer having to dwell in the midst of all that suffering. He doesn't say anything at first, just leans forward and grips the edge of the bed with both hands, trying to gain his equilibrium.
He's not crying now, but there were a few tears shed while he was in there, in the moment, and it's not until he reaches up to wipe his face that he realizes that his palms are black with armour he doesn't remember ever summoning. He closes his hands into fists, and as he wills it back, it recedes. His breathing is loud and shaky in the quiet room, but he doesn't mind needing the time to catch his breath; words are lost to him, for now.
Eventually, he looks back at Blue, face dry but distress clear on his face.] I get it now, [he says hoarsely.] I... I had no idea.
