There is an irony in the sensation. A small "tch" sound escapes as pain lances through his head. Though his features furrow and eyes narrow with the sensation, he doesn't draw away from the statue. In time his expression retains most of its usual calm expression.
But if someone were to look closely they would see there are still lines creasing his temples and perhaps a bead of sweat.
The message, at least, is clear. And thanks to the Ascian's prior experience with pain and possibly his birthright, something he hears in full.
When the entity withdraws, Elidibus releases the breath he'd not realized he'd been holding. The sigh brings a faint sensation of 'relief' from pressure underneath the lingering throb of the headache.
"Thank you." Pain aside, the Ascian is grateful. Though whether he can take advantage of the information personally remains in question; at least he can pass it to others.
"I pray if this encounter caused you as much pain, you recover quickly. I will tell me comrades of what you have shared with me. We will see your message passed on."
Elidibus will wait for an indication of response or acknowledgement- he certainly would pause if there is more- before unwrapping his fingers from the statue's hands and withdrawing. So many questions may remain, but it is likely better to ask those who would be easier to speak with.
He's not one to linger, usually and it seems he's prepared to depart. Yet he does hesitate; at least for a moment or two longer to compose himself before rejoining the others. He does have pride.
