And there she was silent for a rather… long moment. He wanted to burn that mark-thing into her skin… It was a little weird to her. From what he had said, it appears that that sigil was mostly just a key so she can enter that hidden room. That she can call him with it too seems more like a small bonus. She probably could do that with her magic too. So why would he go through the trouble to burn something into her skin, just so she could enter that room? He could always just come along, and open that room and let her in or something. Was he withholding something from her? Hm, well, for all she knows, Lilli would say… yes. He probably does…
“You vant to burn zhat into my skin… Vhat am I to you? A freaking cow? Can’t you just, I don’t know, give me a key or draw zhat sigil on some paper? It’s zhe same fucking zhing I bet!”
The shadowmancer spoke, and didn’t even tried to hide how unhappy she was with the whole mark-thing. Of course she was. Who wanted to have something burned into their skin? She crossed her arms, and pouted a little at the Shade, before she continued.
“I get zhe feeling… Zhat you are hidding something about it, Alchymis…”
And there she just completely ignored the part where he had once again tried to be funny. At least she thinks that he had tried that. It’s hard to tell with Dark and his apparently new found sense of humor.
Mr. Dark remained composed as Lilli, and understandably so, questioned his very methods. She was right to doubt the legitimacy of this whole marking process, doubting whether it was necessary in the slightest. After all, to most it would almost feel like signing a contract without reading the fine print! Alchymis allowed her to speak her mind before answering her valid concerns,
“ No, I’m afraid it is not the same thing. I have a special seal on that door, a seal that cannot be opened by any other being. You need this on your person in order to temporarily dispel it, and of course, access that very room. Consider yourself rather fortunate, as I would never dare allow any other soul entry.”
He slowly began to shift the sigil from palm to palm, training his eyes on it as he continued on,
“ And… I believe the answer to that is obvious,” his eyes met Lilli’s, “ that I am not hiding anything here, rather, I feel you are intelligent enough to understand just what baring this mark entails.”
He held the sigil out in front of Lilli one more, the blue light gave off a familiar aura, one akin to Alchymis’, as well as a generalized warmth to the air around it,
“ Receiving this will not only prove useful to you, especially should you face something dire, but it communicates to others whose side you stand. That you are loyal to me and to me only.”
The Shade quickly dispelled the symbol, returning his hands into his cloak as he tightly wrapped the fabric around himself, “I will give you time to dwell on this, Lilli, you may come to me with your decision by tomorrow morning the latest. It would seem forcing this on you would only prove to agitate you further. I will meet you in the west wing balcony either tonight or, again, in the morning. Good night.”
And with that, his form swirled and shrunk quickly as he teleported off to that very location.
