[ a spell. so this two canes is a wizard? a sage? a shaman? magic comes in many forms and konoe has his own, albeit his works in a very different and potentially unusual way. best that he keeps his under wraps, so that he can't be abused for what he could give for nothing in return. even if yuri isn't able to use that spell, it doesn't mean he can't recognize what another could conjure up.

at least it's not hard for konoe to play the part of a dumb cat, as he is one--- for the most part. ]

It's more that... I don't like owing people debts if I don't know if I'll be able to pay them back.

[ it's the guilt. the helplessness. he has to be useful in some way. ]

Does that make sense?
