Edgar frowns. He isn't sure why it isn't working both ways, though as Daine had never mentioned being able to feel his emotions when he "talked" to her before, maybe his ability only does one type of communication each way. He decides to test it.

He gestures to himself and then holds up a finger. Then he squeezes his eyes shut and draws up the first emotion he can think of that would be different from what Daine is currently feeling: anger. It's the easiest emotion for him to pull up quickly, and he tries to direct it toward her through their clasped hands.

After a minute or so he stops and opens his eyes. He gives Daine a "So?" expression.
