Drawing a breath, Nirael nod his head slightly at this. The sacrifice of his gear would mean parting with things that had helped keep him alive through some harsh times, but things like that could be replaced eventually. He wanted help with a powerful spell and the casting would ruin it. The cost was high, the gear he carried wasn't cheap either, but they had little room to negotiate. He didn't want to sacrifice the spellbook Lunari's father had created for this, the wisdom it might contain was more important than their rush, but his gear could be replaced. It wasn't a pleasant sacrifice for him, but he didn't hesitate.<br/><br/><strong>"Then you shall have my cloak, and my amulet. They have served me well, I hope they shall aid you in turn."</strong>Pulling the necklace off of him, his fingers brushed the amulet on the chain in a gentle fashion, setting the amulet down near Rassamin. His fingers moved to open the pin in his cloak and sliding it off his shoulders, he folded it up and set it down to join the amulet. "Both have been enchanted for protection, and should aid in keeping their wearer safe. Even if you sell them ahead, I hope they will protect their new holder as well as they served me." Smile playing on his lips, he let out a small breath at this point, moving back a step to take a seat again.<br/><br/><strong>"I believe the spell book my or may not contain secrets worth keeping, but it is also one more connection between Lunari and her late father. I believe it would be crude of me to promise it away, even for this quest. If she is willing, I don't see harm in studying it together when you return to the elven lands however."</strong>He smiled in a friendly fashion, figuring a positive offer would leave them in a better position to try and remain friendly in the future as well, but he wasn't going to let the book slip away entirely. It might prove folly, it might prove wise beyond his expectations, but either way he decided to pay the price he was familiar with. The immediate usefulness of the items was lost but he could seek to replace them if he gathered enough coin, so abandoning them in order to advance on their task felt right.<br/><br/><strong>"As for the touch of another man, I am not averse to it though I find the beauty of a woman capturing my thoughts swiftly I am not averse to the thought of sharing intimacy with another man, especially if I have come to enjoy their company. So it doesn't bother me nor stand as a hindrance to our travels."</strong>He nod his head, feeling a bit relieved. If the need for them to hold some of the seed inside was to serve as a focus, it made him curious on how the magics of that would work but he was also thinking that it might let Lunari choose a method she was most comfortable with. He considered idly offering his own mouth's caress to the other man to secure his own passage, but perhaps putting a bit of a lewd show for the two ladies might be appreciated as well. After all, if he dreamed of beholding the two of them indulge one another so sometime, he should indulge the opposite as well if it intrigued them, though in all honesty he wasn't too averse anyhow. Rassamin was a businessman but he wasn't unattractive, and if he was on the level then the eros mage saw no reason to feel shame about desires with another practitioner of the arts.
