Stopping his little rocking fit Edward reached out and picked up the glass, slowly taking a drink and looking at the Reaper with his third eye. He could see the mask for what it was, a mask to hide what little bit remained. Still what he needed to know and what he wanted to know where two different things.

Setting the glass down he spoke. “[b]There are many things I wish to speak of, but as you said time is short so this will be simple for the first question at least, who are you?[/b]” With that said he placed his hands in his lap and looked at the creature before him. “[b]Also, before you think about doing something I might regret. If we are going to fight him when we should plan correctly and follow the rules for fighting him. No cheating but sneaking around, no back handed tricks. Fair warnings on both sides as well as the offering to fight such a challenge.[/b]”

Reaching up once more he took the glass and held it there looking at the clear liquid. “[b]What happened to the man before you, and why did you not finish his work but instead bring me back? We both know that the Council would want me dead, not still roaming around like my master wanted. Also, what became of my master? I can tell by the smell alone there isn’t many of your kind left, so what happened?[/b]”

All the while he spoke, his tone stayed the same, not joking or being sarcastic. The sly remarks not present, this wasn’t Edward who was talking, but perhaps the creature the books talked about, Misurai.

"[b]So, will we treat?[/b]"
