[Cor doesn't really think of it as sharing. He belongs to Regis, body mind and soul. If Will belongs to Cor then he also belongs to Regis. Anything that Cor owns also belongs to his King. It's not sharing, it's simply fact.]

In a way... [Cor nods slightly, free hand coming up to tug at the top buttons of his shirt, baring his shoulder and the delicate web of scars there. Something Will is familiar with.] The magic feeds on the life force of the one wielding it. Every mark I have earned Regis has also earned a portion of.

But in the future he puts his life in the hands of others. An entire army of men and women he entrusts to protect his kingdom. One small addition, for someone dear to him, would be no great burden.

[Regis wouldn't dream of denying someone for no reason beyond his own comfort.]
