No. Give nothing inherent of yourself to them. It leads to no good, Sizhui, these people have no code they follow without finances to provide them with a reason, or fear to hold them pinned to better morals.

If it is a choice between putting myself into uncertain peril, and saving someone from certain death...

[weifinder]

You fall back, evaluate, and use my blood before your own.

[paperbutterflies]

No!

Senior Wei, with an intact core, I would be better suited to withstand malicious intent. If it becomes necessary, you could teach some of your greater skill and experience, but I if it is a core that is needed, I cannot give that to you.

[ And he knows what the world is like with Senior Wei gone, and. No. ]

[weifinder]

I've spent years dealing with overwhelming malicious intent, without a core. It's not the unshakeable buffer you have reason to believe it to be, Sizhui.

This isn't a discussion. You will donate no blood to the necromancers or those working with them here. That includes me.

[paperbutterflies]

Perhaps not, Senior Wei, but it does reduce the risks.

All right, I will not, as long as there are other options and people do not die needlessly. But...

Are you likely to ask for my blood, Senior Wei?

[weifinder]

I haven't asked for anyone's blood yet, so chances are highly unlikely, but just in case. No handing your blood to anyone, not like this.

[ Sizhui can't quite help huffing softly, because if things really come to it, he is not sure he will be able to choose his own safety over someone else's life, but. ]

I will do my best, senior Wei.
