He didn't hear the crack so much as feel it in the air, and feel the energy shift when Elenwë hit the ground. Panic raged again, and he ran the last two feet, ducking through the doorway though he'd.. had no need to, his eyes alighting upon.. Upon himself.
He was laying on the floor! How? How was this--"Elenwë!" he said, concern and misunderstanding apparent in his eyes, his voice, and most especially his ears as he knelt beside her. Him! Himself. She! Elenwë.
Eru! He knelt beside the elf and reached up to pull the hand from the wounded brow. "What is happening? Elenwë?" he questioned, "What is this!" It was wrong, there was something fundamentally wrong with this whole experience. He went to sleep a man last night and woke this morning a woman! What sorcery! What madness!
