Yeah, so instead of "I yelled," what the hell is that word. Hearing this from Raaisel (younger companion) just turns his world upside down, because he would never allow his naive younger counterpart to step foot near the earthquake. His voice is more like a throaty growl, as if to convey some frustration as well. So the final bit of dialogue where the protagonist asks "Have you lost your mind," is actually the part I'm struggling with here. Hearing this, I dropped to my knees, and grabbed his face, “Have you absolutely lost your mind?” I yelled. I’ve told you if you keep doing that you’ll get grey hairs.”Īll of a sudden his eyebrows curled against each other, and his eyes widened with grief, “Please don’t tell me I caused that earthquake?” he whimpered. He was doing that thing where he overthinks. He didn’t say a word, as he stared motionlessly straight ahead. Our protagonist is responsible (involuntarily responsible) for some earthquakes (long story), and his younger companion at this point in the novel questions if he himself was responsible for it.
The only thing he has left is his younger companion who he cares for like an extremely over-protective older brother. Dead parents, dead friends, blames himself etc.
It's a first person novel, and our protagonist is very emotionally conflicted within. Now let me just spread a pinch of context.
I've been looking for a word to describe this tone of voice for a long time but never came across it.
