Paracelsian let the question hang in the air for a moment. He halted the draining flow and examined the sizable orb of energy he'd collected, tucking it into subspace before anything could go wrong. Finally, he answered. "We all have quotas to meet. Mine is slightly lower due to my rank and other duties. I think this should do it." He deliberately left out the part where those quotas were eternal and would most likely never halt. That wouldn't be much of a problem in the end, would it? "How do you feel?" Paracelsian asked, studying the Senshi for signs of fatigue. "Do you want me to stay here, or..." He gave a short chuckle and smiled thinly behind his scarf. "Would you like that coffee?" It occurred to him that he hadn't exchanged names with this Senshi. Perhaps he ought to.

An enforceable quota, in the grand scheme of things he shouldn't have been surprised that it existed. After all, how else would something get to be that strength without a considerable amount of work? The tidbits regarding ranks and the disparity between requirements was intriguing but in the grand scheme of things he wasn't entirely sure how useful it would be to know the specifics but one never knew when things could come in handy.
As Paracelsian's draining came to an end however, he did raise a brow at the manner in which it was gathered, contained and stored. If he were to intervene at any other point would it have been plausible to shatter it and return it to its original owner? That would be something that he would have to explore at a later date, but for now Paracelsian had his word and he wouldn't be experimenting this evening.
"Odd."
It had come after a moment of consideration and several flexes of his own fingertips. He didn't feel entirely out of sorts, but he certainly felt 'off' and had he been in a less powerful form he suspected at this stage he would have been wobbly or at least a little less comfortable. It hadn't hurt by any means, but there was a weariness there that hadn't been present before, a dull ache that seemed to imply that rest wouldn't be amiss.
"But I will be all right," he confirmed with a shake of his head. "You appear to have kept your word," he added. A touch of surprise lay within his tone, but it had been blended with a measure of gratitude, provided Paracelsian left others alone this evening then Athalia would rest easy, Tomorrow would be another matter, but if this was what it took to remove at least one individual from their patrol then he would pay that price today.
"The coffee is perhaps ill advised though, at least in this attire," he pursed his lips. "I thank you for the offer though," he added and took a breath.
"On this occasion it might be better to part ways amiably and I will recover discreetly," he murmured. It wasn't exactly his style, but if he did need to power down then he would very much prefer not to reveal who he was!

"Very well. I understand. In any case..." Paracelsian bowed slightly and doffed his cap as a gesture of respect. "I, Captain Paracelsian of the Negaverse, thank you for your donation. Would you be willing to give me your name in return?" It was a simple inquiry and not intended to go beyond that. He would not log this generous senshi in any databases or report him anywhere else. It was a matter of etiquette, he figured. Still, he didn't want to keep his donor too long. It was best for him to go straight home, and delays just made it more likely that he'd be discovered in a vulnerable state. "I will let you go, and I will end my night with an energy deposit. You will go home, I will go home, and we'll both make it one more day in this uncanny world we live in." Sure, it was dramatic, but he thought it was an important point to make.

"Athalia," he'd never quite gotten the hang of saying his full name but Paracelsian would at least be privy to the part of it he happened to respond to. Nevertheless, with the introductions now complete (albeit in the incorrect order), it was time for him to take his leave. It was by good grace and fortune at Paracelsian had chosen not to place him on any particular database but this didn't necessarily mean that they would be able to afford such pleasantries again...
Perhaps there would come a time when Paracelsian would have to show a less diplomatic side and if that time was to ever come, then it would be preferable that the senshi wasn't there to see it.
"For now someone is afforded a reprieve," he said simply, and with that he began to walk towards one of the alleyways. He knew the backstreets well enough, he'd wandered through them during his patrols in both uniforms, and when he was sure he was in a more hidden alcove he would power down - for now though, he'd remain on his guard.Sami-Fire Fin from me, thank you for the RP! <3
