Aether sickness. Given its greater prevalence in certain locations, ‘tis not an unheard of ailment.
[ But his less than enthusiastic tone might clue Hien in on what he’s about to say. ]
Unfortunately, in spite of our knowledge of it, that also means we know there is no real cure beyond waiting for your body to slowly process the excess aether.
Yeah, but I like sleeping on my own terms and not because I have to.
[ He scratches the side of his head. Right. His voice is full of static and the usual with his mask on. He eventually stands, sighing because of the aether overflow. ]
What is wrong with this place... why is it like this...
'Twould take much and more for mere distortion to strike fear in my heart.
[ Even if it still concerns him. Voices like that, normal or not, don't just happen. ]
But pray explain what you mean by "leaking".
[ He feels just fine, after all, but if there's something about this man that allows him to sense beyond G'raha's own perception, then... he'd be remiss not to ask. ]
‘Tis simply a matter of our star containing aether, said aether consisting of much of the planet’s life force. What you are sensing is merely that life force existing, cycling between the planet and all living beings. Even I am possessed of aether.

Are you quite alright? Your voice seems to be under the influence of some sort of magic.

... Actually, this is my normal voice. Seeing as it doesn't scare you, sorry that it kinda sounds like a monster.
[ He's not actually sorry, but he would prefer not to scare anyone too much with it. It's fine. ]
Your world is kinda... I dunno how to compare, but it feels like it's leaking.
[ That's the best way he can describe aether sickness. There's too much!! Stop leaking!! Keep your planet in line!! ]

[ freaking. Aether sickness. He buries his face into his hands despite still having the mask on. ]
Is there a painkiller for this sort of thing? I feel nauseous.
no subject
[ His body just has to get used to all this aether, basically. ]
I could take you to our chirurgeons, who will keep watch over you as you rest.
