Kaemon looked oddly at Z. His flower? Since when did the black flower become Z's?

"Come now, Kaemon, you can see how distraught little Z is over his lost flower. Don't hesitate to share the details. You know what they say? Helping others is accumulating good Karma. You never know when it might come in handy. While we're on the topic, I forgot to mention I also lost a few of my items on the way over here. Why don't you tell me about all the opportunities you've encountered while here so I can tell if some of them might be mine."

Up until that very moment, Kaemon had a pretty good impression of Lex. Although he did not seem to take the danger of Abaddon seriously, he was not without his own merits. Yet such blatant display of shamelessness gave him new insight into his human host. He was honestly impressed, and decided that a friendship with Lex would be very beneficial.

"We've encountered both great treasures and incredible horrors. For example, the black river that's flowing right behind the castle is actually the blood of a dead Defiler. Such a thing cannot be considered a treasure, yet it can be considered one of the most ruthless poisons in the universe. Getting your hands on a single drop of it would normally be hard. Unfortunately, this blood is so particularly potent that we cannot find a container strong enough to actually contain it."
