Sorey has heard something similar; when Stefan had confessed to him in the shuttle, quiet and ashamed, that he drank blood to survive. Idly Sorey wonders if Belthazar has killed people by devouring their mana before he dismisses it as irrelevant. No matter what happened before, it's clear he doesn't want to do it any more.
Still, Sorey can't just respond as blithely as he did with Stefan before. If it was about something other than the very stuff that makes up his friends and family, he wouldn't be as cautious about this, but...]
You were lonely. ...I don't think you should punish yourself for that.
[Sorey sighs through his nose, pressing the heels of his palms down against his knees. Geez...he'd thought Belthazar was frightened he'd hurt Mikleo because of the malevolence, not...this.]
This...feeding on other people's mana. How are you doing it now?
