[Which only proves his point. They've been through hell and back, perhaps not together, but they know each other enough to know what they are thinking without even saying a word.]

Caught completely unaware and without a chance to even do anything about it. [Suddenly surrounded in shadow and unable to properly latch onto Sebastian's. Of course, they would have to get him alone but Shikamaru could help with that. Who better to know them, than himself?

Not to mention Shikamaru's soul and body would technically complete the current deal they had going. The contract on the other hand would sustain as long as the terms they made. He can feel it already, that will in Shikamaru rising, and he's rather pleased at the notion that he could still tempt far past someone's broken resolve.

He's quiet but Sebastian was a very patient demon. He knows that pose and he knows he's thinking.] As you wish.

First, I'll brand you. The closer to the eye, the more visible it is, the stronger our bond is. [He shouldn't need to explain how much it is going to hurt.] Then, we discuss terms. Essentially I'll give you three wishes.

[Three wishes was more than enough in his opinion, even if he was one that was equally as 'desperate' right now. Wishes were more like conditions and means to control Sebastian.] You will use those to bind me. Also, there must be a goal in mind. I don't plan on working for you forever.
