Kaleeth held her head just above Janius', grinning down at him. "I didn't know my stubbornness was so, um...endowing? Or, no...endearing, that's the right word." She replied, stumbling briefly over her words.

"Yes, and it helps to have friends, especially back when Rhazii was young." Ahnasha added. "Even so, I've had a lot of full days these past few years."

"I didn't really think you would still be studying magic, of all things. We were just talking about it, and Calia mentioned that you would have to be quite skilled. It's just...well it sounds dangerous, doesn't it? Dealing with your own soul and everything?" 

Ahnasha managed to chuckle convincingly. "It's not dangerous, mother. I knew you'd just worry. It's difficult, and can be expensive, but I know what I'm doing. It takes some, uh, strong creature souls. And gems to trap them in, of course. Mammoths are something experienced teams of hunters can take down reliably, and they work. I, well, I'd like to explain it all in detail, but that would probably take a lot of time, a lot of background, maybe a few diagrams."

Vasiq had been mostly quiet so far, but the current topic was evidently enough to rouse his interest. "But you will [i]actually[/i] be able to live longer?"

Ahnasha nodded. "Yes, ideally. These things are not always too precise, but I hope to live as long as Fendros."
