"Ah, yes. It's an honor to have been given such a gift from the life stream." Tian smiles again and then gives a content sigh as they reach the landing. A few more taps around with his crystal staff told the mage that there was more stairs to fight - but for now, things were wonderfully horizontal. "If the gods are willing, you ill not have to brave these steps again."

He turns to Whisper, giving an extravagant bow. "Now, then! Before I forget my manners. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my lady. I am Tian-shenim Bailong, Archmage of Life." He chuckles again, expression soft and full of humor despite those dead eyes.
