[purrtagonist]

[he tilts his head towards Shin-Ah, smile soft]

Have you figured out how to wield such a blade?

[he can't comment on Seiryuu's anger, his rage, his difficulty to control. Seiryuu was, after all, a part of his soul, however temporary. utilizing him in battle. . . well. that had been instinct]

[farseen]

[Shin-Ah lowered his head, and offered a small shake in a negative reply.]

Not... not without a price.

[For Seiryuu was still a separate entity for him, the power a fraction of the great Dragon's and only borrowed for the time he was in this body-- however long or short it was.]

[purrtagonist]

[this is. . . a personal question, and Akira knows it. but he feels like their confidant relationship is high enough for him to ask. and so]

What is the price?

[farseen]

[They've both known 'Seiryuu' in some way. In a small sense, it's talking shop.]

What is done to others is done to me-- for a time.

[purrtagonist]

[blinks slowly, trying to comprehend]

Do you have an example?

[farseen]

[He levelled his gaze upon Akira, unflinching.]

That's difficult.

[He couldn't explain. Not easily.]

But I don't fight like that. Not if I don't have to.
