Dannisus was smiling from ear to ear. His expression was only cut short by Lui's unorthodox comment. He chortled, and waggled his finger in objection. "No need for such nasty procedures- All we want to take out is your eye, right?" It sounded a lot simpler than it actually was. There was something nagging at the back of his mind about her little ruby eye, from the very first moment Dannisus laid eyes upon it. "Which may [i]or may not[/i] be a type of Mana sink... They're much like Mana tags, but a lot less [i]oppressive,[/i] and not compatible with biological creatures." He tapped the skin underneath his left eye and looked at Lui. "Your gemstone emits a very dull stream of magic that I can't really identify with my nose alone. Mana sinks have a habit of hiding themselves like that- Soaking mana at a persistent rate like a little [i]sponge,[/i] but other than [i]killing[/i] most people, they don't usually have many side effects." He stopped suddenly, quickly spinning towards a nearby patch of grass that overlooked Nadska's northern gates. A thought came to mind. With a small open mouthed smile, he glanced back at Lui and Aelih and gestured towards the small grass hill, quickly making his way over before they could react. "But I could be wrong!" Dannisus shouted whilst slamming into the side of the hill, rump-first. He patted the grass, still talking with the assumption that the two were listening closely. "Mana sinks are [i]archaic.[/i] I couldn't even begin to understand why somebody would meld one onto a construct without at least modifying it to [i]output mana[/i]. Even then, the energy they can store is [i]finite![/i] There's an-uh, well..." He paused and began to tap his forehead with one knuckle. 

	"You said that this person- The one who gave you that eye, he just [i]found it[/i]?"
