I believe it'd be a fair approximation, minus the beard.

Mm. Likely for keeping a few to try and develop better ways to prevent this in the future. As for the others, I can't say that the constant falling asleep is advisable for the position that this operation is currently in.

[chariotry]

Why wouldn't you grow a beard in your old age?

That man, Dorian, says he can extract mana from their bodies.

[horsepowered]

It has never been a style that looked good on me, Achilles. Try and imagine it, if you will.

Does he? Interesting. I was aware that he was a mage.

[chariotry]

I remember as a child saying that you should grow one... Didn't I use your hair to see it for myself? [ And he'd probably use it to make his own beard. He was an annoying, hyperactive kid. ]

He seems powerful... Could make a good Master.

[horsepowered]

You might have. Either way, I think we can both agree that it isn't fitting now.

He's a charming mage. We've had a number of good conversations so far.

[chariotry]

Never said I agreed!

Have you, now? Then you might want to ask him to contract with you before another servant takes him for themselves. He's likely the most powerful mage here, after all.

[ Is that a challenge? Or maybe he's looking out for you. ]

[horsepowered]

Hm, is that how you remember it?

If that is your own intention, I invite you to take the opportunity rather than wait for me to make a decision, Achilles.

[chariotry]

I have a few candidates in mind.

I was only wondering if you did as well.

[horsepowered]

It has been something I've considered, but I can't name a name with any confidence. In terms of demonstrating ability, I'd like a greater opportunity to see their skills in action.

[chariotry]

And what of your skills, if you don't have any mana?

I know you're growing weaker, Chiron.

[horsepowered]

I could worry about your state just as much, Achilles.

[chariotry]

I've saved up plenty of mana.

You wouldn't stand a chance against me as we are now. You're lucky we aren't on opposing sides anymore. [ By thotting. ]

[horsepowered]

Achilles. I can and will manage myself. I appreciate and respect your concern, but I also ask that you look after yourself instead of focusing your energy on matters outside of your control.

[chariotry]

You've said that before.

I may be your old student, but I'm not a foolish kid anymore. Treat me as your equal.

Haven't I proven myself?

[horsepowered]

I'm asking you, equally, to respect a private matter related to my health. That is all. There is no matter of proving yourself that need even enter into this equation.

[chariotry]

[ That just makes him more worried. ]

Fine. If you fade in the middle of warfare, I'll at least know it was your own doing.

[horsepowered]

And should that happen you have every right to chide me.

[chariotry]

You'll be dead so how will I be able to do that?

[horsepowered]

You're worrying too much.

[chariotry]

I'm soft-hearted, remember?

I'll see you at training.

[horsepowered]

You always have been.

Take care of yourself, please.

[chariotry]

That's the only thing I can do.

[horsepowered]

And the most important thing.
