But, fine, he'll give it thought, because arguing with Ahito about it clearly isn't getting anywhere (for some reason). He stands, though, since Ahito wants to git. )
... If there was anything else you noticed or that it said. It told me it was bound by a promise, as a wizard, so it couldn't move on. Stuff like that.
( About what he expected, but it's good to confirm.
Ultimately... it might not matter so long as this remains a one-off instance. But they don't really know if this is a one-off instance, is it? Maybe the other people in Central were also...?
Concerning, if so. )
... Maybe the manor should try a exorcism of everyone from Central just in case. The guy with glasses might not have been the only one with a rider.
( Just the only one whose rider manifested - for now. He hesitates to just ask Tatara to organize this, though; Tatara seems the type to say he'll look into it, but not take decisive action immediately. He still doesn't think there's been a PSA about promises, either. So it's... kind of up to them.
[But instead of explaining any more than that, he just closes his eyes and focuses. If Mika's paying attention to magical pings, he can probably feel the cast go off as he performs a spell to wash away the pain that lingers in his body even now, built up from years of sacrifice.
At the very least, he can probably hear the way muscles relax, tension leaking out as the pain fades. Nothing so drastic as to be visible to the ordinary viewer, but Mika's senses are far greater than that.]
( Mika is quiet, and he listens. He lets the sounds linger in the air, near invisible, for a few moments longer, even as the magic fades, before he speaks. )
... Better. ( Better than before, arguably. ) Else I would've bound you to your bed.
( Joke? (Real.) )
... I won't make you tell me things. ( He did say he's not fixated on secrets (—So long as they don't make him worried about the future). ) But don't make me bug you, either.
( In less brusque words - don't forget to look out for yourself regularly... That's a lot of baggage, and the Akira thing clearly didn't help. )
( Mika, as always, is skeptical when it comes to Ahito's health. But he's finally heading for the window, anyway, and the pane pushes open with magic. )
Don't get caught by another ghost again.
( Anyway I thought about it and nvm Mika definitely has ethical concerns about eating rocks, but it's Ahito's problem now - he glances at the bag, then to Ahito, like he intends to add something, but decides against it. He's said his piece and doesn't want to be hit with a remark about caring again, so. )

... I'm knocking you off your broom next time.
( ... Then he'd catch him :/ )

[Much intimidation wow. He gives another yawn.]
-Was there other stuff you wanted to ask about? I should probably get out of bed at some point.

He feels stressed out already. )

No idea on the others, though.

If whatever they did to get the ghost out of that guy doesn't cause any problems for the host, I don't see why any of them would object, in any case.
no subject
We can still see if there's anything to exorcise. Just saying what I saw.
no subject
... What exactly is his curse?
no subject
He mentioned some other things, too. That after he touched the cursed object, it felt like something in him broke.
no subject
... That doesn't sound safe to me in any sense of the word. Like, at all.

( No winning against paranoid people. )
... I'll go figure out something about all that. You just stay in bed.
( nvm what you said about getting up. none of that anymore. )

[Dryly. He's the one who lives like this, every single day.]
Just didn't get to that part of my morning routine right away, that's all.

Honestly there's a nonzero chance he dies here, in which case he'd expect his own mage stone to be used for much the same.]
I'll try not to.
Later, Mika.
