Truth be told, he did look at the little fox-snake on his shoulder with a big of suspicion, rather aware that he'd lay himself open to attack. He'd acted on impulse, with the logic that getting trust required showing trust. Plus he had saved the little critter. Still... This was... somewhat interesting. Just in case, he let some magic flow to enhance the muscles of his throat, just a tiny bit.<br/>Even though the Nguruvilu hissed and recoiled as he touched her, it appeared that scratching her a little bit did have the wanted effect. The Nguruvilu returned the little gesture with one of her own, Jarvan smiling gently at the creature. Good. Good. Appeared they were both good souls. He was very very glad about that.<br/><br/>As the Matsuba and Nguruvilu readied themselves to finalize the bond, Jarvan began to hold his breath. This was a crucial stage. If they'd do something strange now, it'd be ruined. And those Tomes were bloody expensive to boot.<br/>The next few seconds seemed to tick by as the fish seemed to be teeming with enthusiasm and immediately stretched out, the Nguruvilu stretching out her paw to the sigil.<br/>Almost at the same time, the two sigils flared up, the symbols shining in a golden light as a soft hum bound the two Lillim to the book and to him by extension. For a moment, nothing seemed to happen, but then the two Lillim dissolved into a rainbow of magic energy, rushing into their respective sigils. A small picture of both Lillim appeared inside of their sigils, seemingly inked in on the page.<br/><br/>Jarvan couldn't believe it. He'd done it. In one fell swoop, he'd managed to get not one, but two Lillim! Damn!<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(184, 49, 47)">"YES!" </span>He cheered holding up the book and doing a little dance. Still sniggering, he walked a few steps onto the land. If his information was correct, the Matsuba should be able to float now, held up by the magic of the Tome. So there was no reason to keep them inside the book.<br/>And besides, why would you keep your friends locked up? That wasn't the way to go.<br/><br/>Activating the book, Jarvan quickly released the two Lillim out of their respective sigils, the Matsuba now floating a few feet off the ground. The merc gave them both a big smile, saluting in front of the both of them.<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It's done! I look forward working with the both of you! Watch my back, and I'll watch yours. And give you plenty of nice things... and eggs to boot."</span>He gave a small wink to the Nguruvilu.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And don't worry, I'm be avoiding recalling you into the book. Only when it's absolutely necessary. It was necessary to get the bond active, but now you'll be out as long as you want. Although I would advise against going near the locals here though, might cause a bit of a ruckus."</span>
