I didn't make any attempts until the end of last week. The human has to offer it willingly-- I can't take it by force. Doing so would make it impure, and consuming impure mana would turn me into a demon.
Before that, I'd simply been going hungry each week. [A soft laugh.] The time loop has actually been my salvation in that respect.
That... is a shame. Had I known, I would have attempted to help you.
[ Not like he knows what it means to provide mana or anything, but maybe he could hold out his hand and Vanis would just take the mana or something. Who knows. ]
'Twould depend on the manner of delivery, I imagine. I would not be able to offer the same method as Bradley, but if all you need is simply my energy, I presume you can do that without any means of physical contact.
[ ... ]
Although, on second thought, perhaps ending up in the same state as Lili would be detrimental while we are locked in here.
[Oh. Oh, that's... he actually looks surprised for the briefest moment, because the last thing he'd been expecting after TROLOLOLOLing his way through this conversation was a genuine offer.
Quickly, in an attempt to save face here:]
No, I think it's best to avoid that for tonight. I'm not so weakened as to be in trouble just yet, and it wouldn't serve much purpose to risk causing you the same effect as Miss Lili.
[ There's a flash of amusement in his eyes as Vanis falters, his lips lifting into a little smile. While his offer is serious and genuine, having a little bit of payback is kind of nice. ]
But of course. Should you find yourself in trouble at some point, however, do not hesitate to ask. I'm certain many of us present would gladly assist you.
Close enough to what passes for one in my world. In my world there are only humans, angels, and demons, and you certainly aren't one of the latter two.
[Although the slit pupils definitely make him look like both an angel AND a demon...]
Fascinating. Where I hail from, we have much and more than only three distinct types of individuals. Though, I'm certain you could surmise that simply by taking note of the differences between Urianger and I.

[ And Lili was one such source until she... didn't take it well. ]

[Which is understandable! Asking "Hey, can I siphon off some of your life energy?" almost never goes over well. He knows, he's tried.]
I hadn't expected people here to offer it to me.

[ She's find now, thankfully, but whew.
Terrifying. ]

[Did he really need to mention that? Yes.]

Haha, I won't.

But I will say that Miss Ayaka's assumptions about that being a way to obtain mana aren't wrong.

Which means Vanis—
No no no. ]
...I believe I can draw my own conclusions at this time.

While we're on this topic, were you going to offer?

[But it's said in a tone that's almost fond. Even after nearly 4000 years, somehow they still manage to surprise him in multiple ways.]

You deem me a human? I must admit, I'm surprised.

[Just three is chaotic enough when the demons want to rule the world, the angels are trying to prevent that and the humans just want to survive.]

A great deal more than I would dare even attempt to explain.

You've spoken to them, then?
no subject
Once, briefly. My friend is the one that had spoken with her the most, having been her chosen.
