He felt the shock when their hands touched. He stepped back when she jerked away. "I am so so--....." His mouth dropped open a bit as Dharma - no Themis - started to float. He heard the words she was saying, but they hadn't clicked right away. But, they had been stored away in the back of his mind.
The most important thing was making sure that she was alright. He hurried around to her side of the desk and dropped down to his knees. THe first thing he did was try and pry her fists open. "Come on. Relax for me. Please. You're going to hurt yourself." She didn't have talons, but, he knew she had nails. And Preston did not like the sight of blood.
"Dharma? Professor Cosima?" He gave her shoulder a light shake. He looked around before looking back up to her. "Themis? I need you to wake up. Please wake up, Themis." Maybe she was aware now? Otherwise he was going to look psychotic. He gave her shoulder another little shake.
