Randy's ear was aching, badly. Buttermaker could really flick hard. He could feel it more when it rubbed against the ninja mask.
"Ow, ow...Ninja pain." Randy said to himself, wincing slightly. He wanted so badly to take off the mask, but he knew he couldn't.
I'm not ready for him to see my true identity yet...
…...
YET!?
What am I thinking!? I can never show The Sorcerer what I look like! The Nomicon would kill me if I told!
Randy pondered that for a moment. The reason he was scared of telling was because of what The Nomicon would think, not what The Sorcerer would do.
He shook away his thoughts and continued to the lair.
Randy was holding onto the side of his face and hoped The Sorcerer wouldn't notice.
"Ninja."
"Sorcerer."
As he looked up, the tengu feathers in the mask rubbed against his ear and he winced.
"What's wrong with you?" The Sorcerer asked.
"Nothing.." Randy lied, putting his hand quickly to his side.
The Sorcerer looked unconvinced. He started gathering stank "Whatever you say, Ninja..."
Randy looked relived, until his noticed the stank heading towards him. Was he going to be stanked for having pain? The stank formed into a hand and started touching the side of his face. It touched his ear and he winced. That made the stank surrender.
The Sorcerer sighed, slightly annoyed and gathered healing stank and used it on Randy.
"T-thanks." Randy said, slightly nervous. "But it wasn't that bad."
Randy knew healing stank also drained The Sorcerer's energy and didn't want to make him tired from such a stupid, minor, injury.
"What was it?"
"My ear was just sore."
"I wasted my energy on something so trivial..."
"Sorry." Randy apologized.
"Well if you would've told me in the first place, I wouldn't have had to waste my energy!" The Sorcerer argued.
"Sorry.." Randy apologized again.
"Now I need rest." The Sorcerer yawned, then fell asleep.
Randy also felt tired. He laid down, but The Nomicon started glowing. He sighed and opened it.
You have done well.
"Nomcion, I-...wait..what?"
You drained The Sorcerer's energy.
"Hey, that was an accident, Nomicon!"
This is a blessing in disguise and soon you will realize it.
Then The Nomicon kicked him out.
Randy frowned and fell asleep.
