Mellowing Akilah out is a bit of a task for anyone, but Luna is particularly good at what she does. Still, Akilah fights the urge to mellow out with all she had, and creates a barrier around James, Luna and herself. It's a barrier to keep Luna and James in, but not so complicated as to prevent Luna's empathy. With some work, the low level barrier could be broken, as Akilah is draining from the last session. She didn't show it, but it was what it was.
