"No need..." the Soulleech Monarch answered. "I owed the Nine Senses Tree... I am simply returning the favor."
Levi didn't know what kind of relationship these two had with each other, but he could tell that it went way back... probably even earlier than Ash'Kral was even born.
'Favor... did the Nine Senses Seed reward me with this mutation as a gift for choosing it to remain in my main soul with all of its available space?'
Levi then looked at the little creature attached to him. "You're telling me to take care of… your child? How can a mutation be a leech with its own sentient? Is it even mine or yours?"
As much as Levi appreciated the Nine Senses Seed going this far for him, he still would have rather preferred a mutation like the Harmonic Spine... it was powerful, useful, and most importantly, his own to control.
