[color=ccff99]"You're very welcome,"[/color] Eris beamed, enjoying Max's irritation. 

Once he stated that he'd leave his choice to a coin clip ([i]a coin flip, talk about nonchalance[/i]) Eris let out a quiet laugh, making no effort to hide how entertaining he found it. Leave it to mages to put such an important life decision on chance. The lack of drive was a little concerning, but he supposed it meant the kid was more malleable than he thought. Well, about as malleable as a boulder with his only tool being a wooden mallet. Still, he just needed to point him in the right direction.

That said, he also needed to steer him away from bad choices. Of course, he was sure Max was just saying it to annoy Eris, but on the off chance he actually did consider it, he decided he would enlighten him. [color=ccff99]"As entertaining as it would be watching you torture yourself going through the mental program, doing it purely out of spite would probably end up going badly for you,"[/color] Eris replied airily. So this is where the phrase 'Don't cut off your nose to spite your face' applied, go figure. That said, there was one little tidbit that he could definitely dangle over the kid--he'd have to thank Sunny for this--and he threw Max a smirk. [color=ccff99]"Unless you actually [i]want[/i] to lose your affinity. But hey, I can respect doing something purely to prove a point, so you have my blessing."[/color]

Eris' grin faded a touch as another thought came to mind, his gaze elsewhere. Now that he was thinking of Sunny, he supposed he may as well put it out there. [color=ccff99]"You should tell me these sorts of things,"[/color] He suddenly said, more interested in a shadow on the wall than looking Max in the eye. [color=ccff99]"Without me asking, I mean."[/color]
