Lucian Negotiation: 35 - 26 Negotiation = 9 --- Saito seemed a little nervous and wary about discussing the abyss with two people that should clearly be ignoring it, but maybe if they knew then they would have more desire to stick their noses out of it, especially with the neat way Lucian worded it. Plus knowing more about one's power was some needed information if they would be living with their power for the rest of their lives, not able to have it go away. Of course whether they would be ignoring it or not was something Saito wouldn't really know, but if they didn't it wasn't his problem if they got themselves killed. "To answer your second question Gaia gives powers based on how we are. For instance someone who is a swimmer or almost drowned might get a power to control water or someone who really likes birds or the sky might get a flying power. Of course... there are those who train to get their powers, like Martial Artists. They are Acquired Ability Users" It was all common information, so Saito really didn't mind sharing it. "To answer your first though... the abyss is just like the yakuza or the mafia, only with supernatural powers being involved and a thousand times bigger. Essentially its like the underworld of the supernatural. Not everyone in its a criminal, but you can be guaranteed that most people who have supernatural powers, whether Acquired or Natural, use them for illegal means whether its killing or something else. They don't interfere in the normal world thouugh, as they know that they would die if they did". It was alot to explain, and Saito looked like he didn't want to give that explanation, but if it was reason enough to make sure they don't get involved in the Abyss then it was all the more reason to explain it. After all Saito knew how frightening the Abyss could be. Meanwhile though as Lucian silently used Observe on Saito's ring a window would appear before him, reading as thus. [hider=Control Ring] Name: Control Ring Rank: Somewhat Special An enchanted ring that gives the wearer power to control magical items synced to it from a distance. [/hider] After this window appeared, their not being a whole lot of info since his Observe Skill was only Rank 4, another one appeared saying that very skill had gone up in Level by 1. After finishing his explanation though Saito looked at the both of them. "Is that all you have to ask, or is there something else? If not I recommend you forget this conversation and the Abyss. I can't guarantee that you will survive if you don't." Ren shook his head. "That's all..." As much as he wanted to ask about the Imp Claws and Teeth he found he decided to leave everything alone as Saito probably didn't trust them enough yet to answer difficult types of questions. With that he walked out of the door, leaving Lucian in the store to either ask any questions he had for Saito or to follow Ren outside of the store.
