The fucker is fast. Grey has honed reflexes and he almost catches Midnight's wrists before his hands are at his temples. There's a low, infuriated growl that punches its way out of the captain's chest and the mage is actually shoved back with two giant hands.
For all his mundane lack of any magical ability, he deals with the horrors of the mage's mind quite well, standing still, listening, looking, his jaw tight and eyes hard.
"Get out," he finally snarls between his teeth, meaning both Midnight and the ghosts around him. "All of you."
There's a feral look to the mage's eyes as he's shoved back, the white fading back to black as a sharp, bitter smile thins Midnight's lips.
"Not so fun, is it?" he asks, voice sweet and soothing, only making his mocking more obvious through it. "Need me to wave a fan in your face? Maybe offer you some grapes, darling?"
The smile abruptly drops from his face and the spirits fade just as quickly from Grey's conscious.
"Don't act like you know what I'm going through."
The door is slammed behind him when he leaves. He needs his pipe, maybe some of the 'medicinal' plants from home... maybe he can approach one of the crew for a bit of 'alone time', too.
