Simon formed, sitting on the head of one of the fountain statues. His owl immediately swooped onto his shoulder. "Well done...and just in time for me to collect."

"And why the fuck you couldn't do that yourself?! Materializing out of the thin air and then leaving the same way?", he yelled, angered and nor really remembering his place and that this man could easily kill him if he wanted to.

Simon formed in front of him with a soft chuckle, his owl ruffling his feathers from him doing so before relaxing again. "I deeply appreciate the trouble you dealt with in getting these ingredients for me. The spell is almost complete." he softly purred.

Naoki jumped as the mage did that. It was fascinating.. yet a bit scary.
"You didn't answer me... And I'm free to go now, right?", he asked, tensing up a bit and glaring at Simon.

Simon paused to think, then he grinned at him in a sadistic manner. "I might just have a few more uses for you, thief." he said softly before he reached out, his hand covering the neko's face and once again putting him to sleep.

Hearing that he wanted to answer, his anger rising, but then he felt mages hand on his face... and felt weak. Soon his eyes closed, leaving only darkness before his eyes.

Simon carried the lad back to his cave after taking the supplies off of him and he laid him on the bed before moving away to start cooking up the spell that he needed to stay young.

Being quite tired after all he did with his empty stomach he slept about four hours. After that he groaned and started to wake up. Opening his eyes he looked around.

Simon was in front of a large cauldron with a bright green light radiating from inside and he turned around with a glass vial in his hands containing some of the glowing liquid. His owl flew off of his shoulder to perch on his cage before Simon brought it to his lips and drank all of the liquid. He dropped the vial, the glass shattering on the floor as he reached for his throat while making painful groans and grunts before putting his hands on his temples as his body gave off a darker green aura. The lines that had been forming on his face vanished, his skin became much smoother and softer, and the color of his eyes became more bold and radiant. He chuckled darkly after the aura was gone and he straightened himself as he gently touched his face.

"Much better..." he said softly with a grin.

Naoki was on time to see the the vial shattering on the ground and what followed it. His eyes grew wide when he saw all of it. It was mesmerizig.. but at the same time the other part of his mind asked what he got himself into this time. His cat ears flat and his tail swishing nervously he stared at the mage from the bed he was laying on.
