And Mithos smiling was a good sign for Genis, too. While he was explaining and not actually actively hurting anyone (or talking about hurting someone...), he could almost relax a little and think things were normal.

Besides, watching him use magic so easily, forming the shards back into a sphere, still filled him with awe. He was really skilled...even if a large part of it had to be his Cruxis Crystal enhancing his power and his senses. For the moment, he didn't think of what Mithos was sacrificing - what he'd sacrifice - for those abilities. It was just amazing. He had a delicate touch even when only using magic.

He probably shouldn't admire him so much. In the end, they were going to attach the Exsphere and drain that person of his life.

When the Exsphere didn't attach, Genis didn't know if he was relieved or not.

He took a few steps closer to examine the situation, but nothing looked at all amiss. Well, as far as he could tell.

"Do you think we should attach it with a key crest first? Maybe it just needs more time."

That was his best guess, at least. It was also the least painful option short of Mithos simply holding it there.
