Sojo was wary but he also did not like being touching. Especially by women but being touched in general was not high up on his to do list. That was mainly with people he didn't know. If he didn't know you it was like back then all over again. He knew it was going to take a while for those will-o-wisps to get anything of use. They'd come back when they had something to tell him and not before. Those three that went to the spirit world. The others were his eyes and ears on the world. He wasn't sure what to think of the man he had summoned. Not that it was intentional. He didn't trust easy. Men or women. His trust was not something easily come by. It would take more than letting his guard down even a little for him to even let the guy close. He wasn't distant but he wasn't too willing to trust after what he'd been through. His own mother abused him then sold him to a whore house for drug money. If you can't trust family then who  can you trust? No one really.<br/><br/>He looked over his shoulder a bit when Thomas started speaking. "You have some choice. You could chose to do things your way and the results wouldn't be pleasant." He said with a chuckle. Continuing to walk. "Burned is just the beginning of what could be done to you. The townspeople not far from here are highly supersticious." He said. "Pain...I deal with it to use blood magic. It is my blood that enables you life. It is what brought you here. Blood magic mixed with necromancy with a touch of black magic." He said simply. "Yes. Seems we are stuck with one another. Go figure." he said. He kept walking and looked around. Taking in his surroundings. The spell book had nothing to do with it. There was a way to break a binding but it wasn't pleasant for either party. Though if the guy did get the book he'd be able to use his own magic again. That be a plus for the guy. A negative for Sojo even if it couldn't be used against him. Would totally make Thomas less controllable. Give him more power to refuse commands. Which would be very bad at this point.<br/><br/>He began rummaging around in his robe. He knew he had something that the reviving dead man could eat. He muttered to himself. "Its not there..." He kept searching for the white apple that was from the spirit realm but edible by anyone dealing with death. (see image at end) He looked at the guy as he found it. Pulling it out and tossed it over his shoulder. "Catch. It won't go away until your hungers full. Its an apple for people dealing with death. Being resurrected you qualify. It is a never ending source of hunger. Eat your fill then toss it back." He said simply. He then kept walking. Behind them sounds of chaos was ensuing. They were already too far away to be seen by the townspeople. He went back to walking ahead. The apple would taste much like a granny smith. If the guy didn't catch it it would come back to him.<br/><br/>"To the city of the damned...Diablo Canyon." He said. "Its a place to whole up where nobody messes with you because you deal with death. Its a good place for you to get out of the vunerable stage. It also is a place to restock on spell components if you use them." He said. "There is a book I'm looking for in the cemetary there." He added. He kept walking as the sun was beginning to set. "Its nuetral territory for magic users like me or Blood mages or Dark artists. Its a place good magic users can't get into. If they do nobody sees from them again. So most people avoid it. Especially the law. Its best to keep a low profile while we are there. Then I won't have to kill anyone in self defense. The dead like to cause chaos." He said simply." He looked ahead again. "Diablo Canyon...its where that woman took me...before I escaped her." He muttered under his breath.<br/><br/>Shaking his head. "Anyways...we'll be safe there because people help others. Especially people who know Necromancer's. I think thats because of fear but not with me. I'm a good Necromancer." He said truthfully. "I'm the first Necromancer Blood mage though." He added. Small facts that were harmless.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://media.artspace.com/media/young_sook_park/white_apple/young_sook_park_white_apple_320x320_c.jpg?v=ed2eea5a7171b3b96b16c74fe7c1fa8b">[ img ]</a>
