Odd. He's seen and heard the crowd, people giving instructions, laughter, heated discussions. It's all gone in the blink of an eye, literally. Disoriented, he turns his head. Pressing his body into the bench and digging his knees into the floor is all he can do to make sure he's still where he was a second ago. He's been worried that he'll lose track of time tonight, but now he's certain of it.

Kneeling here, bound and most of his senses taken from him ... he doesn't even know whether Jade's still there or if he just left right away, now that he's finished the preparations. No amount of squirming and stretching enables him to reach far enough to see if anyone is nearby. Hell, they could just take a step back the moment he moves. Blind, deaf, and immobile; he's glad he's had the chance to start taking the suppressants again.

It takes a while before he gives up and lowers his head, lying perfectly still. There's nothing he can do but wait until someone touches him and even then, his options will be limited. He squeezes around the plug; in this setting, that may be an okay way to distract himself and it's definitely pleasant.
