[ Kaz's mind had been a blank before, but now it's a open book. Not only Kaz, but... that something else that he'd felt that day in the jungle, when he'd healed the boy. He's sufficiently surprised by this, that it takes him a moment to process the content of Kaz's thoughts.
...
Ah.
It's differernt from when Ket died. He'd seen the boy's corpse, still stupidly smiling, and there was a Normal miscreant to blame. Hearing about it second hand.... Kaz's feelings matter more to him, particularly newly laid out before him like this. So he's better able to intellectualize things: "death" in this place isn't permanent. It's more like Player I game over.
That said, being eaten sounds gruesome. Ugh, these idiot kids. ]
Thanks for telling me.
