Ravens' eyes widened when he heard him said : "You dare summon me?" " and stuttered to say something but he could feel his tongued tied. Swallowing a large gulp of saliva e finally spoke trying not to stuttered. "I...I was trying to study my book I am a new mage in all this" he said trying to stay strong on the outside but on the inside he was freaking out his instincts tell him to run and hide, but he refused to listen to them, he didn't want to seem like a total wimp when he wasn't, at least, not all the time.

Raven looked at the summon's expression and recognised the same expression from a horse dealer he had spoken to just in the last town two nights ago. He looked at the note scribbled in the margins of the book and read the mannerisms of the spirit before him. "greedy....manipulative....defiant...powerful" he read over then noticed the part where it said her name. "Her name is Alverdine" he shivered feeling the chills as he glanced over the script. He then read back over the book quickly and saw an area of the book written by hand of ways to keep her under control and read it. "be firm, be strong, don't let her see weakness, offer time." he said in a voice barely above a whisper then froze.

[i]Time? How the hell is that suppose to work, I barely have time for anything anymore...well until now...maybe....[/i] he thought looking back up at the female before him.

He watched as the partially, still shifting creature that was still in the center of the runic area, the many voices around them started to silence themselves one at a time until a single feminine voice spoke alone saying " "Who are you? And for what purpose have you summoned me? Why have you ripped me from my home and brought me here? Surely you know the contract that binds us now, the ramifications if you do not name your terms?" which caused him to nearly want to shake hearing the smoky sense about it.

"I am Raven and I did not mean to summon you I was simply trying to study since I am new at the mage power things. Yes I do know the contract that binds us to you and also the ramifications if I do not name my terms for said contract" he said strongly looking at Alverdine with his sea blue eyes.
