Unexpected Encounter.

"I have never seen anyone training to the point of losing so much blood before," Carrion looked at Rasmus's body covered with bruises and blood. "Are you sure you're training and not fighting to the death?" He crossed his arms, trying not to wince when he watched Rasmus pour alcohol on an open wound.

"You think magic alone can save you, Carrion?" Rasmus asked as he put down the towel that had been soaked in blood. "You think you can protect someone with only that?" He stared into Carrion's eyes.

Carrion knew what Rasmus was trying to imply and immediately glanced at Erlina who was covering her mouth in shock. He then looked at Rasmus and thought for a moment about whether he could really protect Erlina with only magic that he barely used.

"If you won't do it for yourself, at least do it for someone else's sake, someone that you care about," Rasmus looked down at his wounds as he gritted his teeth from the pain.
