[If only he knew about that feeling of being weak... He could help her more than, point her in other directions.]
Good question.
[A shrug.]
Right now it feels as if I had started over from the beginning, like I just awakened. But it could also be right before the symptoms started to progress. I do still feel that familiar fatigue if I use too many powerful spells, especially if I semi-prime, but at least I'm not coughing up blood nor turning into stone—yet.
[He takes a quick draw of his cigar before tapping it over the ash tray again.]
The progression of the curse is dependent on the individual and how much magick used. And as a Dominant, the progression is slower than the average Bearer. I've been a Dominant for twenty-six years, and it wasn't until about ten years ago that I really started feeling it, a few more years for it to actually show on my arm. And then the past year for the blood. At that point the progression accelerated, so I knew I didn't have long left.
[A wave of his hand, smoke trailing in the air.]
Unless being in this world changes things, at least for myself I have time. But I am not going to chance it, especially with everyone else around.
[Especially Dion... And also Joshua's other problem.
He then looks at her.]
How fast did your illness spread and are you feeling any of it now?
