Hm. She seemed to be regaining some of her faculties. Ah well. It merely continued to sit there and hold the girl softly, completely tired now. It took the entirety of it's considerable mental power to manage to hold the young witch, and maintain it's cohesive form. Still, it was worth it. The creature was dreadfully sluggish, and the mana rich liquid inside it wasn't helping matters. Slowly, it moved the covers back and deposited the girl beneath the covers. It gently let go of her, letting her free of it's lovely warmth.

"Shall I leave you now Kanoe? Or shall I stay?"

It was giving her a choice once more, as it had given her so many choices before. What she said, the shadowling would do. It had always held true to it's word with her before, and this wasn't time to do it now. It sat on the edge of the bed, ready to leave if she told it to. Secretly, it rather hoped that she asked it to stay.

Her hand paws at the sheets as she felt the warmth slither off her body, replaced with her bedsheets. She shivers slightly as her body finally calms down. Her body was soaked with sweat, her hair spread out like a spider's web along her pale back. The room was much darker now. Only one candle was still flickering weakly with only a bit of wick and wax left. Soon, the room will be plunged into darkness.

No response came from Kanoe's lips to Siolazar's question. The poor girl had blacked out completely. She did not even move to get comfortable, her nude body laying down on her stomach and chest. Her breathing was faint as she falls into a deep slumber. She will probably not realize until later that she had not even begun studying the new book she was given.

Asleep, it seems. The shadowling chuckles a bit and shakes it's head. Well then, that is solved. Sliding off the bed, it picked up a pen and began to write a short note to the girl to find when she awoke.

"Nice to see that you enjoyed yourself so much. I'll fulfill my part of the bargain when next we meet, since you fell asleep on me before I could help you decipher anything this time."

It dropped the note atop the book, and stretched itself out. The girl's hot fluids were still inside it, and they needed to be returned to the lab for analysis. It needed how to figure out how to draw off this mana from the fluid, and figure out why it was evoking feelings in itself. That was perhaps the most disturbing thing off all, for those were alien to the shadowling mostly. It could feel anger and the like, but rarely felt anything like what it just had. This would require study. Much study indeed. It slowly thinned itself out under the door, and slinked off to it's lair, to rest, and to study.
