Radar obediently takes a deep breath and shuts his eyes. Around him, the constant free-floating noise whispers in its usual ebb and flow. It tugs him away from himself like an insistent phone ringing, his mind leaping into its usual filing clerk mode to keep it all in check. When you can hear so much of everybody else, it's kinda hard to just let yourself be you.
But he tries. Cautious, like Sheogorath's been teaching him, he reaches inside himself to turn down the dial. Not all the way -- that just freaks him out, like someone's slapped a blindfold over his eyes -- but enough to let his ears relax a little. Enough that he can hear himself loud and clear over the noise.
