"Well, how can I help you two gentlemen?" Bailey asked, unfazed by how Jason mispronounced his name. "Perhaps the information within the Soul Vault is troubling you?"

John looked over to Bailey and nodded at his question. To be honest, John didn't really know what to ask Bailey, so he jusat asked the first thing that came to his mind. John doubted that there was anything that could fulfill his request, but it was still worth asking about.
"Yes. This scroll states that novices can only affect himself, inanimate objects with souls, and small, non-human autonomous objects such as insects and lizards. Only masters can affect other humans and larger creatures. Is there anything here that can.. more effectively transfer souls, or maybe accelerate the mastery process?", John asked Bailey.

"Perhaps I might help you with that..." For the first time, Bailey looked hesitant. "But this tome is too dangerous to be revealed to the outside world... the risk is too great."
"I will show you the book, but I cannot give it away without something in return." He continued as he paced to the bookshelf and drew a purple book with only 30 or so pages.

John was a little bit curious about why this book was so dangerous. After all, there were things in this library many times more dangerous than that book, right?
"What do you want in return?", John asked Bailey as he passed by Shulk and Alvis, and slightly glanced over to them.
After a split second to scan over the two, John returned his gaze to Bailey. Perhaps the strange man Shulk was talking to was a friend of his.

Alvis chuckled at Shulk's question and then spoke as though he wasn't talking to Shulk but indirectly anyone in earshot. "What price will you pay to save a life? What price would you pay to save a world?"
"Huh? Alvis...what are you...what are you talking about??"

John knew that Alvis was addressing him, based on how he raised his voice slightly and seemed to subtly speak it out to everyone in the room. John could not ignore what Alvis was saying, especially because of what message he was conveying. Was he saying that the world was in danger?
"What are you implying?", John calmly asked Alvis as he turned over to him, hiding his suspicion and curiosity.

"I-" Bailey began, but sighed. "No, it is too selfish for me to ask this from you."
"You were going to ask him for a replacement energy source for your immortality, weren't you?" Patchouli was awake now, wrapped in Kenway's cape.
"I... yes, I was." Bailey hid his face. "It's an egotistical request, one that I do not deserve-"
"No matter. I'll replace his stead." Patchouli sighed.
"You will, mistress?" Bailey gasped.
"Your talent is not deserved to be wasted." Patchouli announced. "Give John what he needs, and I will grant you the invulnerability you've been dependent on."
"Thank you, mistress." Bailey bowed.

Alvis smiled lightly at Patchouli and Bailey and glanced away. "Tell me...What are you willing to sacrifice?" As he was still looking away, he looked at John from the corners of his eyes. "How far would you go?"

John became tense about what the man was asking him. It was almost as if he was suggesting that John was going to either have something bad happen to him, or that he would have to do something he didn't want to do. Despite that,m John still answered Alvis's question, albeit with a little hesitation. John was about to say that he would give his life to ensure Humanity's survival, but he couldn't freely say such a thing, not anymore. After all, he would now be leaving people behind if he died, like Yukari, Ran, and Chen, to name just a few. Dying was now a topic he was hesitant to talk about. Instead of saying that he would die for Humanity, John gave Alvis an answer that still conveyed that he would do everything in his power to protect those he cared about, as well as the planet.
"I would do what is absolutely needed of me... Again, what are you implying?", John asked Shulk, this time in a more serious tone.

"I see..." Alvis said now walking past Shulk and even further from John and then turned to him with a hand on his hip and in his other hand was a small glass cube with a red sphere that looked to be blood within. "Well then, I believe you will be needing this then." He then tossed it to John with a relaxed underhand throw.
