That left him with.. how much... and how. In between how to teach him how to shield himself and how - good God, he needs to know about his oath abilities immediately as well. That could be a disaster.
He rubs his face with his free hand (the other rested steadily against Gregor's).
"Some years back, I visited a very unusual locale, and discovered a ... set of abilities. One of them is stopping the innate skills of others, like this. It only works with touch." .. The truth, or at least, a pared down version of the truth, he decided, abruptly. Gregor's expression was just... earnestly trusting. He couldn't do anything less. "... There is much to discuss, most must remain a secret. All of it will seem fantastic."
