"Relax," Marion suddenly muttered before tossing the egg towards Adrian, "I'm only slightly fascinated by its mana, I have no intention of possessing something that's not human."
"..."
He suddenly recalled something before correcting himself, "erm... Except necessary."
Adrian caught the egg, feeling the heat coming from it, before looking back towards Marion with a blank expression.
The next second, he lifted his hand and grabbed what seemed to be air.
That is, until he coated whatever he was holding in his shadows, revealing a string that led towards Marion, who now had a cheeky smile.
"Nice try," Adrian said as he detached the string from the egg.
"Well, it was worth a shot," Marion answered with a shrug, "I should've suspected you'd sensed it."
Adrian looked at him for a while longer before sending the egg into his [Shadow Vault] as he started walking towards the exit.
"Since I helped you retrieve that," Marion said as he followed behind, "I'd like to consider us even."
