He wasn't- The only thing hurt was Jared. [Physically. Mostly. Jon had been hurt, of course, but nothing lasting. He expects he could lose quite a few of his organs at this point and still function. Somehow. But Hawke had escaped physically unscathed.

But horrified.

The Archivist could have fed on that encounter as a Statement.

[But he's not getting up to leave. After all, Jon has ordered him and he needs to understand where the power rests here.

Spoilers: It's not with Jon and never has been.]
