Kiri:
Ah...
Agrippa:
What is it?
Kiri:
No, you're not one of them... I am so sorry...
Agrippa:
Ah, you thought I was a Dark Sect member, did you? I understand. They put you through a great deal of pain. If I were you, I would be cautious near any dark mage.
Kiri:
Hmm, from vhere do you call home, my friend?
Agrippa:
Vanheim. I'm one of [Tact]'s teachers in magic. My name is Agrippa.
Kiri:
Then you are a trustvorthy person indeed. My name is Kiri. May ve vork vell together.
Agrippa:
Of course...

///B
Agrippa:
Hmmm....
Kiri:
D-Do you need something, Agrippa?
Agrippa:
I have a request for you, Kiri. Would you allow me to take a blood sample from you?
Kiri:
... Vhy vould you vant that?
Agrippa:
Though it may be considered heretical, I have an interest in your blood. The blood of dragons is the stuff of legends after all.
Kiri:
...
Agrippa:
I do have another, less selfish, reason. It is for a friend.
Kiri:
A friend? Vhy vould my blood be of interest to your friend?
Agrippa:
She is a very peculiar woman. She is much older than she appears... Once, we looked the same age... but as time moved forward for me...
Kiri:
It slowed for her.
Agrippa:
It is a mystery why. The Dragon Priestess has lived for hundreds of years herself. I've... taken samples of her blood as well for research. But I believe a true dragon's blood would benefit my study even more. My friend... she wants answers for her unusual body. If I could give her what she desires...
Kiri:
Say no more. You may have my blood.
Agrippa:
Bravo! Thank you...
Kiri:
Now, how much do you need? I can...
Agrippa:
I already have what I need. I just wanted your permission.
Kiri:
Eh?
Agrippa:
You've bled enough in this war. Samples are a plenty...
Kiri:
Y-you cheeky human!
Agrippa:
Heh...

///A
Kiri:
How goes your research, Agrippa?
Agrippa:
I'm afraid I've hit a snag. I'll need the more sophisticated equipment back home.
Kiri:
How disappointing... But I'm glad to help you.
Agrippa:
Don't say that, I feel guilty about this...
Kiri:
I understand you are studying my blood for more than one reason. Humans are curious creatures.
Agrippa:
We... are greedy creatures as well... I must confess one of the reasons I wanted your blood... is because I want to see if I could use it to extend my life.
Kiri:
...
Agrippa:
Is that so surprising? Look at me, wizened and old. But even so, my age is a mere fraction to your own. ... It infuriates and frightens me. Every day closer to death... But you, Niya, and the priestess... your reality is so alien to mine... Is it so wrong to want to live as long as you do?
Kiri:
I've have a great number of human friends in the past... I've always disliked how they vere taken from me so soon... Agrippa, if my blood helps you live longer, I don't have a problem with it. I can tell you do not only vish to live for yourself...
Agrippa:
...
Kiri:
I must varn you, however. A long life invites its own troubles. I've seen many of my own kin devolve into madness simply from living too long.
Agrippa:
I will keep those words in mind.
Kiri:
I believe you von't stray so easily. The love in your heart, may it be your guide.
Agrippa:
The less we speak of that, the better.
Kiri:
My lips are sealed.
Agrippa:
*he vanishes*
Kiri:
Yet another human attempts to go beyond his limitations... Men with an affinity with Dark... Zahhak...
