Don't worry Ferris, I'm sure that the spell this complete stranger (apparently born and bred to hate your kind) that you met in a dark alley is casting on you without releasing your hand is completely harmless. Hey how do you think he got that mad grip strength.
Panel 1: Close up on Ferris and Szelek's hands shaking in agreement as Ferris agrees to Szelek's offer to get him across town for theater tickets. Ferris says from off screen "Done."
Panel 2: Ferris tries to pull his hand back, but Szelek keeps a rock solid grip on it and starts chanting in some language of magic that starts forming a magic circle above their combined hands. Ferris starts freaking out, pulling on his hand and yelling "Hey!" at Szelek.
Panel 3: Another close up of Ferris desperately trying to yank his hand free, only managing to squeeze out his thumb as the magic circle approaches completion.
