 "Overstrain is irresponsible at this point in the game, my sky-serpent. You will have all eternity in this rebirth, when you are come to full power.

"We will take our leave, then - well met, Lord Harmodius! may our next meeting be in better times-" and a wave of exhaustion so total that it nearly knocked him over hit Crispin full in the face, as he suddenly snapped back into full awareness and control.

Shaiming's surprise radiated through Crispin, but the boy merely bowed his head again, then turned and moved out of the hall, trying his very best not to stagger - until he reached the foot of the stairs, and there were Toki and Nebula to support him.
Then and only then did he allow the collapse.
