Sojo noticed the frown but honestly didn't care. Would YOU want a guy dealing with dead things to end up drunk? Not likely. No telling what the hell he would do if he was drunk. Drunk people tended to do stupid things. He knew this for a fact. Drunk people frequented whore houses. Whore houses which he spent less time sleeping more time practings his dark arts. Necromancy. Blood Magic. Dark Magic. These were the types of magic that flowed through his system. None of that good magic that druids were known to be endowed with...his was all dark arts. He was a tree hugger who was not tree huggery. He just watched the guy.<br/><br/>Noting when he stuck his hands under his arms. "That'll pass. The coldness thing." he said after a long pause. "Its an after effect of coming from the land of the damned dead where it is extremely hot to the land of the living where compared to there it is cold." he watched the guy. "it'll pass. Then you'll barely feel the cold. Same with the hot." He looked at the graveyard. "Thats more than these souls feel. They feel emptiness. I can hear their tales." He looked back at Thomas. "You'll get over the cold. Return to somewhat normal body temperature. As I already said...its a side effect of the dead being summoned. Since you aren't a skeletal figure or a man of spiritual form then you are subject to the side effects of summoning. Another such side effect being you will probably be extremely hungry within the next few hours. Give or take thirty minutes."<br/><br/>He sighed when the man spoke again. "I will have to figure this out then." he said. Looking at the guy. He was wary and didn't know who he was. He didn't really know who he was nor did he care. "Thomas...I've heard that name before. I'll have to look up where its familiar." he said more to himself than to thomas. He didn't answer right away who he was. Names were power. Yet his name would be power because it wasn't his full name. He'd give the name he went by. The name he remembered. He looked at him. "The dead have a way of turning the tides. Most times you get who or what your summoning but without a true name, such as the case with Viper, there is a chance that a stronger more powerful soul will claim the summoning place." He said truthfully. "I was not expecting you." He confirmed.<br/><br/>He tensed when the guy touched him. He hated being touched after what he had gone through. He moved the staff and pried the man's arm from around him. Sidestepping and turning so he was facing the guy again. "I see. It is nice to meet you Thomas. I'd prefer to not be touched though." he said with a frown. Then smiled a bit anyways. His eyes said he was wary but his smile said he was trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. "We'll see through trial by fire if you are a likeable person or not. I don't let first impressions account to much. There is always a snake in the grass when you do that." He was curiosu as to why he said that some might disagree. Again that wary expression came over his features. There was more to this storybook page than meets the eye.<br/><br/>He sighed a bit. "You can call me Sojo." He said after a long time of thinking on whether or not to give it. First name only. The man only gave his first name so he would do the same. Even if Sojo was only most of his first name. He kinda didn't remember his full first name. A bunch of will-o-wisps appeared from the soul. He turned his attention to them. Holding out a hand and it landed growing bigger. You could almost see the tiny person inside the spirit orb. "What is the word my little will-o-wisp friends. Tell me what you have seen and heard my eyes and ears." The orb grew brighter than dimmer. His expression went from warm to cold. "Are they now? Its time to get moving then. Don't need any unnecessary trouble." He listened as it spoke again. Looking to Thomas. "I don't know much about him. His name's Thomas. See what you guys can find out for me in the afterlife. Three of you that is. The rest of you back to spying for me." The orbs flew off, some into the earth and most in various directions.<br/><br/>He looked directly at Thomas now. "We need to get moving. Townspeople are heading this way. Apparently there was a disturbance in town. Someone saw a thief heading this way. People from town mean groups and more importantly women. I avoid those like a plague." he then began walking from through the graveayard. Yes. Since the guy was bound to him...that meant to kill Thomas they had to truly kill him. Not an easy feat mind you. What with the dead on his side against the living. Hence why Necromancer's were so feared. It was hard as hell to kill one. Not impossible mind you just hard when even the dead were on their side. He stopped and turned to look at Thomas. "I'd recommend coming. I doubt if anyone knows who you are seeing you at this point would be a good idea. You are still in the vunerable stage of resurrection."<br/><br/>He started walking again. "Plus...fire hurts like hell to resurrected beings. Its like someone threw you when you were living into an extremely hot fire and let you slow cook to death. With the temperature of the fire constantly increasing. Also...you fall behind you feel pain. You are resurrected after all. While pain won't be as extreme to you as it was when you were alive from being born...pain from the stretching of the aura zone...that'll hurt like hell. Your choice though." He said. He looked over his shoulder. "I would hope you'd follow if you are even the slightest bit curious about the current state your in. I will drop little tidbits of valuable information to you every now and then." he said. Yes. It was a bit of a blackmail but he didn't feel like fighting with the guy.<br/><br/>He assumed the guy would follow. "We don't have much time before they make it here according to the will-o-wisps. So I'd decide quickly if you want to risk another temporary death. Since you're bound to me they can't permanently kill you. Though I would like to add temporary death would make when you are pulled from Nexis by the spell again...it'll hurt worse than any pain you've ever felt before." He left out the fact that until he mastered the spell neither could he permanently end him. That wasn't an important fact right now now was it?
