"Young man, how old are you?" Ma stared at Rasmus, and saw something admirable in the way Rasmus maintained his calmness. "If it's too much to answer, I apologize," he added.
Rasmus took a moment to answer the question not because he didn't want to give the answer but because he had never cared about his age. It was no longer something that he had to remember during his late years as Kyros. He brought that habit to this world as well, and he didn't remember how old Rasmus was when he possessed his body.
"Twenty seven this year," Rasmus answered as he looked at Ma. "And please just call me by my name, not my title," he pointed out.
Ma smiled softly when Rasmus pointed out that Ma already knew who Rasmus was. Of course, Ma knew, but he wanted to test what kind of a person Rasmus was before he could call him by his name.
