Garrot just fuckin stares, because this is too much. He needs that to punch people with! But when he opens his mouth all that comes out is just a rasping, high-pitched wheeze, because he also doesn't have the words for this. He can still feel it, though? There's another long number of seconds of silence from Garrot though, because if he can't communicate how this year is different, if he can't say there's four of them being harassed by the Wizard, then how can he show something's off?

So instead he just sort of stares into the void that used to be his hand for a bit longer. Maybe it'll come back if he waits? Or maybe Xaljim knows what to do? Get a kicked-puppy look from your foolish mortal, you poor, overworked primate.
