[What a sweet thought, having a master to return to.

Takasugi doesn't try to visualize what this hulking man's mage may look like. His mind drifts to his own master, a far away gaze accompanying the nostalgia.

He washes it away with a drink from Iskandar's glass, stolen right from his hand.] Without him, would you disappear?

[conqueredhearts]

[You'll never believe his Master is who it is, Takasugi. Not ever.]

Perhaps not immediately. I do have quite a bit of mana in my body and I have a habit of using that rather than his own.

[shikomizue]

[That's damn straight.]

But you could... draw his life from him for yourself?

[He'd never consider doing that to his own former master, but...

Anyone else would be fair game.]

[conqueredhearts]

No. Not his life. His mana. His magical energy. This can be connected to life but that's more often seen in those with next to no magic inside them.

[Which is a very basic way of describing things in his world. But it's also the easiest to help someone understand.]

Also, it's a contract between us. He is giving and I am taking. When I bother to take anyway.

[shikomizue]

[A relationship of give and take, huh? Takasugi understands that concept well, his relationship with his master was much the same. He'd never managed to give a damn thing back, and now-

He finishes the liquor he'd stolen, setting the glass on the table harshly.] What would you do without him? [Intent, Takasugi stares at the man as if he's expecting something, some sort of 'right' answer.

Not that he knows what that would be.]
