No take backs, huh. [It's not a question. They'll discuss his "wishes" (Sebastian's leash) afterward, but the moment Shikamaru comes to the table his soul is on the line. Not surprising. He'll have to be careful with his terms, of course. Having a shared goal does not and will not make them friends, or even allies. Will not make Sebastian a creature with feelings or morals. Sebastian is a tool at best, a wild animal at worst. Something to be controlled and used, but never disrespected.]
I don't plan on living forever. [Nice to know they're on the same page, isn't it? Shikamaru reaches up and briefly runs his fingers over the scars on his right cheek. They'll need a strong bond to do what they plan to. No sense in holding back now. He knows it'll hurt. He's felt something like it before when making his deal with Sebastian, but he can take it. It'll be nothing compared to everything he's already gone through.]
