Watching as Arkain draws his attention to the amulet he's wearing, Azlant's eyes narrow slightly as he studies the symbols carved into it.<span style="font-style: italic">"One of the Chosen of Guia.  I haven't seen one such as you in a long time.  It's rare for the gods to interact with us mere mortals so directly in modern times."</span>As Arkain says not to touch, there's the sound of a quiet chuckle from him.<span style="font-style: italic">"No, that isn't something that you'll need to worry about.  Neither me nor my host would have survived long if we hadn't found a way to co-exist, both with each other and others, and mastering our more...instinctual desires was the first step in that process.  We don't simply go around attacking random people, much less those that we've gotten to know and care about.  Besides, just before we accepted this mission we were involved in a rather...energetic incident with a former employer of ours who thought that they could skip out of paying us by having us killed.  Suffice it to say that we can sustain ourselves comfortably for some time without needing to feed.</span><br/><br/>Kellus's voice shifts back to his normal tone, as Kellus himself interjects, "In addition, it's something of a personal rule of mine that I reserve such a fate only for those who truly deserve it.  Even if it would greatly benefit myself and Azlant, I won't allow him to consume just anyone.  Part of the ritual that bound him to me also gave me a certain measure of control over him.  Although I have only needed to exercise that ability rarely, I can stop him from doing something that I don't like, if I feel it necessary."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"In any case, I believe that I can help you with what you're proposing, Jaku.  Among other things, I possess the ability to separate a soul from it's body; it's the first step in the way that I feed, after all.  Although it isn't healthy to remain separated for a significant length of time, it should be relatively simple to transfer a portion of his soul into you, at least temporarily.  However, once it's inside you it will be up to you to hold it there; I will need to focus on maintaining the connection between the two pieces of his soul."</span>
