Now, that's rather alarming. Let's see if I can ease that...
[Sherwood nods back at the affirmative thumbs up. A gloved hand moves to his own mouth and he plucks the fingertips away with his teeth before sliding his out from it. A long, boney hand with some scars one would associate with swordsmanship, but nothing crazy.]
You'll feel some pressure and warmth. [a fair warning, because he just... grabs Caleb around the throat. His thumb digs into the man's carotid artery and his fingers dig down firmly in place, is stopping shy of being a choking grip. Some pressure is a way to describe it....
The warmth is next and far more soothing. It blooms beneath the skin, inside the muscles, and spreads like leaking sap. There is a distinct taste to it, faint and bubbling upward, smoky and savory. It bubbles up from the throat and into the sinus, a bracing and refreshing burn.
Sherwood takes his hand away from Caleb's throat and the sensation lingers on after, clearing the pain and discomfort. For now. Seemingly caught up in his own curiosity, less graciously than before he just... pries his bare fingers between Caleb's teeth and creates a V with them to look back inside with the flashlight, checking his work. He'd really deserve to get bitten about it.]
