Upon striking up a conversation with the target, Bridget gazes deeply into the target's eyes, unblinking. It is as though she is deeply entranced by their discussion, no matter how banal the subject. Bridget's eyes pierce through the target and may attempt to change to look into their eyes should they look away.

The most painful times in Hezalea's life has left her indifferent to the pain. If she tries hard enough, she can tune it out as if it's background noise.
On pain:
One might say suffering is part of being human. Does that mean those who have yet to suffer are yet to be fully human? If that were true, if pain and sadness were a prerequisite for recognition, Hezalea would rather shirk it all.
On willfulness:
Muting any of the senses takes more than being told, "Just deal with it." But now... Hezalea can indeed say that to herself and expect herself to stop being so flustered by the incessant agony that hovers around her. It's all just a placebo. She's incredibly annoyed that this very power has validated all the insensitive words thrown her way.
On heroism:
Was numbness always part of being a hero? She doubts it. Often the most questionable heroes are ones who have become desensitized from the horrors that plague their lives. She wishes she could feel visceral disgust at all the atrocities in the world again, she wishes she could say that was the drive for her ambitions, but really, why does she continue moving forward?
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.
Colvin becomes aware, like a driving lance in his head, like an obstruction he can’t ignore, that one of the Fae Folk is nearby. He’ll likely whip his head erratically to look at it, before setting off on his hunt.
The Wild Hunt recognizes its own kind. Many of the hunt are linked to the Fae and many are such beings themselves, and the spear…adapts to the obsession of its wielder. Colvin’s obsession is his hatred of the Fae. He will stalk to the ends of the world to end them, if need be. The spear is more than happy to feed his hunger, while turning him into a piecemeal facsimile of the beings he hates most.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
