It was not at all unnoticed by Asteria how quickly Jason turned serious. So, not so much an annoyance as he was someone to be careful around, even if an ally. Though that went without saying for just about anyone, really. [color=F0E68C]“I agree that we protect each other to the best of our abilities except for situations where the protector would have to expose him or herself to lethal danger. Even with the existence of healing magic and possibly other healing items we should still be careful. I agree on the sharing of information, whether new or old; whatever any of us know that the others don’t can likely be useful to all of us. The mana thing I’ll refrain from deciding either for or against until you give us more information,”[/color] Asteria replied. An alliance was one thing, getting used by Jason (or anyone else, for that matter) quite another.

[color=F0E68C]“Interesting that a slime can learn magic. Perhaps so could a Dire rat. That would be worth testing out just to see if it can be done or not,”[/color] Asteria commented. [color=F0E68C]“Do you think you could use that telepathy you mentioned to inform Mother Rat here that we are all allies? Though maybe you should test it one of us first – which I am assuming is what you wanted to test out anyway? You really should be clearer on experiments like that,”[/color] the female Dire rat finished dryly. So much for ‘sharing information’ already. Not that she expected this to go perfectly, but really.
 
[color=F0E68C]“As for checking what you can or cannot do, Ed…I have recently obtained a skill called Monster Analysis I. That could help,”[/color] she added.
