*He'll just trot over to stand next to the bed. His tone isn't his usual matter of fact, but rather the calm patience of someone trying to be a steady and stable presence for someone in distress.*

It's not the same thing as an infection. What you're feeling is the traces of my connection to the Zohar. It's no threat, assuming you retain my body's natural resistance.. merely a presence that's incapable of harming you at that level.
