[ Did you hear something? Not Zelgadis muttering under his breath, surely.
It's less the magic and more the caster that's not up to par, if one wants to be particular about details but he knew he was right to suspect Rezo might not as strong as he used to be. Was he lying yesterday? Or is this coming as a surprise to him, too?
Zel still can't manage to muster anger. Yesterday, maybe, he might have played dumb. Like in how he treated the coachmen, he might have found a cruel, fleeting satisfaction in making Rezo admit to how weak he's become.
Instead, the prospect feels hollow. Hurting Rezo on purpose now, when he has already fallen so far...
It would be pathetic, and nothing more. ]
Like I said, it caught me by surprise. I woke up to a dark mass rushing towards me: that's all I could make out. I know it's capable of distorting its shape, because it wrapped itself around my neck. When I tried pulling it off of me, it was too slippery to grab hold of. It told me that all I had to do was mind my own business, and then it disappeared entirely.
If it hadn't been raining, I don't know if it would have attacked me outright. It's been playing things safe up until now; it would be strange to completely change tactics. But based on what it said to me, it might start getting bolder from here on out. The more progress we make, the more of a threat we pose. A cornered animal fights the fiercest... but that may be what we want. I'm willing to bet that it's avoiding a direct confrontation with us because it's weak in that area. Why else operate so covertly?
