[The voice makes Asriel jump for a couple of reasons. First, the sound of it - the familiarity of it, even if he hadn't heard it much, was from someone who apparently wasn't around. Second, the inflection - the rise and fall of the words, the stresses, the ease, all belonged to someone who hadn't been around anywhere in a very long time.
And the third? The third thing was that the sound and the inflection were not supposed to go together.
So when he turns to see this person proper, he...is still. His eyes are wide, and he's shaking subtly but quite a lot, because what is he to make of this? Something feels...off. Strange. But he can't place his finger on it.]
I like your gem choice
