Hagen used his one eye to lock eyes with Shagra. In that one moment, there were several things going on that could be seen in his eye. There was fear, there was anger, there was regret, there was pain, and there was longing.

He was afraid that death was upon him and an eternity in Hircine's hunting grounds awaited him... He was angered by his failure to defeat Falvius... He regretted that he failed to be strong enough to help the others and was now a burden... There was pain... oh there was pain... not just physical but there was deeper pain still... There was longing... A longing to be free from this disaster, a longing for a place of rest... longing for her, which he couldn't understand for this was a new feeling he'd not felt before...

One last thing could be seen in his eyes and that was hope... as much as he had been certain that - after the ordeal that had just transpired had finally passed - he would be left coldly shunned by the people of his group, the view he saw was wholly different. They were there. They cared. And they wanted now more than anything for him to be ok. This gave him hope and a stronger will to survive. This alone helped him suppress the fear, the anger, and the pain...
