Zell gave a little head-tilt. "From being a Cleric maybe, aswell as being... Zigmund- Bro, are you totally sure you've 'Made Peace' with this arrangement in your noggin, right now? Do you know if you'll have to live with this for the rest of your life, or what?" A small part of him suddenly wondered if James was dealing with any resentment due to Zigmund getting killed by Second Chance. "If you're sure, then I trust you, of course - say no more. But we should probably create contingency plans for eachother, just in case anything goes wrong." [/quote] He shook his head lightly from side to side [abbr=Thank you man]"I appreciate the feeling but I don't think it needed"[/abbr] He gave the other man a side glance then looked back to the canal [abbr=Like a dragon guarding his treasure]"I will not lie to you, my feelings ARE a mess of guilt, resentment, and love, true. But above all I adore you guys, I would first die before letting anything happen to you"[/abbr] He directed a grin that immediately became a frown [abbr=And that is a problem]"But nevermind that, my issues are mostly handled, yours are [i]not[/i]"[/abbr] He jabbed a finger in the other man's direction. [abbr=I hate that Goat Bastard]"That sword is an insidious thing and as you have volunteered to carry the curse even throwing it away will just have it find its way back towards you"[/abbr] It's what happened to him after all [abbr=How could I not realize...]"It will always feel like you are in control, it won't change your personality, instead, it will exaggerate your bad traits, the worst part is that in the unlikely event that you notice it happening that 'you' will likely decide they are the better version of 'yourself', even if everyone else tells you the contrary"[/abbr] He stood up, he was about to start gesturing when a thought crossed his mind, was... was he giving a sermon? Oh Gods he was, wasn't he? Well shit, he was already this far in, no reason to back down now, mama didn't raise no quitter [abbr=Was the tone good?]"However!"[/abbr] Shit he was getting into it [s]just like when he practiced with cousin Pedro[/s] [abbr=Instead Rejoice, Young man]"Don't despair, Zigmund may be a bastard but he was a cautious bastard, he learned how to conduct and sealing ritual tailored for the Black Sword in case he needed an out, poor idiot didn't realize he got caught in the trap but the knowledge is still here"[/abbr] Two fingers tapped at his head [abbr=And we will]"We may not be able to get rid of it for you but we can make sure its influence is contained until we find a solution"[/abbr] He gave a last look at the other man [abbr=Shit]"Give me 3 days and I will have the ritual ready but Zell, for it to work the affected must be willing to face separation, unless you truly desire getting rid of it it won't work, so what do you say Zell Brooks? Are you willing to be healed?"[/abbr] ...Okay for an impromptu speech, it wasn't bad, it just felt lacking, why oh why couldn't Zigmund come with oratory skills? Knowing the fastest way to kill a man with your bare hands held no shit to basic speechcraft.
