That's impressive enough. That you still have the sacrifices. [Matoba's mouth curls up unpleasantly. But resources would run out eventually, wouldn't they? Even if there were young wizards like that knight, if these old ones with the knowledge ceased to be, they would surely be in trouble.]
[In a way, it was not unlike the decline of exorcists, but their deaths were not so flashy.]
[His head tilts up again to shoot Shylock an exhausted, unamused look at the tease- but it changes again, as he seems to consider something, into his own teasing smile.] "Excite" me? I think that is not the word I would choose. Rather than excitement, I felt a calmness and pleasure in watching your face twist up in pain.
It felt like an eventuality. The ever-unaffected Shylock brought to his knees... Who would not at least be fascinated by such a sight?
[His eye holds on Shylock's. It was impossible to tell with the man, whether his eye glinted with the light of predation or the light of passion. It was merely interest, either way, like a cat.] There is power that can destroy you wizards. Knowing that is enough for me.
