Thank you, that's-- kind. [ a quick reflection- having his boundaries respected feels good- it's not something people often do without being scolded for first. And even then, it usually only comes through constant reminders. Looking back up to meet Viktor's eyes.] I can be very similar, so I would like to extend the same courtesy to you as well.

[ A beat as he composes his thoughts on how to address Viktor's very realistic concerns. ]

[ Swallowing before saying a word. ] Cursed energy is something that's been congenitally engraved into my body. This makes me a conduit, and therefore able to utilize the energy to fuel what we call a "cursed technique." Corruption interacts with my body in a similar manner, passing through my body- not able to reside or build for an extended period of time. I've had my moments, but nothing I couldn't direct outwardly before having to deal with permanent or serious side effects.[ Eyes light up- an oh yeah moment! ] Oh, I also have Pepper, [ a quick smile ] he's still a puppy but he's a bloodhound who feeds on blood pollution- and anything else he can get a hold of. [ He's still in training, but he definitely wants Viktor to meet him sometime! ]

Curse energy is intrinsically tied to me and the world I came from. I can write something up on it and pass it on to you through text. [ Twisting his shoulders and back in a quick stretch. ] I'd rather be in a focused mindset when I put it together.

[ Oh boy, Viktor will be getting another text later on describing cursed energy in full detail. Mirrors is the perfect word to describe how Megumi sees the two energies work. Having never formally made a compilation on cursed energy, it's about time, as his interest has been highly piqued. ]
