Ah....

[Rewinding to try and figure out what happened.]

How long was I out?

[crimeson]

A few minutes. What happened?

[awakenerd]

I ran out of energy.

[crimeson]

[oh, fuck.]

...How do you get more?

[awakenerd]

Usually in this situation I'd rest near a septium vein...

That's not an option I guess. With a contractor I'd be supplied some automatically.

[crimeson]

Okay. How do we make a contract?

[awakenerd]

Oh.

[That's just so direct.]

[crimeson]

I'm not gonna be leaving you high and dry.

[awakenerd]

Jeez. There's a lot that's involved you know? Do you even know what you're offering?

[What a sweet guy.]

[crimeson]

I doubt I'll back out, but you can give me the rundown anyway.

[awakenerd]

You'd be supplying me with power and I'd be at your command. We'd be connected, mind and spirit. But that would include... if I were hurt you'd take the damage.

There's more than that for me to consider as well.

[crimeson]

Divine Knights are Divine Knights no matter the shape, huh...

Like what?

[awakenerd]

Yeah, I guess so.

...I've never gotten to pick a contractor.

[crimeson]

...Guess that makes sense. What with the trials and all...

[awakenerd]

Crow suggested I take my time and figure out what I want.

It's kind of a new concept.

[crimeson]

I agree with Crow, there. But you've gotta make sure not to take too long, okay? I'm kinda worried about your current condition already.

[awakenerd]

Sorry for worrying you. I shouldn't be in danger. I'm not really... Mortal, per se. But I might nod off like that abruptly until my mana is stable, so it's definitely not a condition I should sustain.

[He actually doesn't know if he'll die or not he's just being optimistic. He's never been in a situation where there was absolutely no ambient mana to recharge from.]

[crimeson]

Everyone's in danger, here. No need to add to potential problems.

[awakenerd]

Yeah... I really am sorry for worrying you...

[crimeson]

[Randy sighs and ruffles Rean gently.]

All is forgiven. Just make sure you get taken care of, okay?

My offer stands.

[awakenerd]

Thanks. I'll let you know when I decide. Until then I promise I'll try to take it it easy.

[crimeson]

All right. Sounds like a plan.

[awakenerd]

Anyway, I wonder which of us should be worrying about the other actually, mister "I don't know what a contract involves but sign me up".

[crimeson]

I think it's fair to be more worried about you than about myself, given you're the one who just passed the fuck out.

[awakenerd]

[Pokes his forehead gently.]

Worry about yourself some!

[Rean. Please.]
