[At that, both the Prince and the Sage glance over to where Bradley is standing, back by some of the pillars further into the large room. Having been called out, he sighs and steps forward, speaking with a more relaxed accent compared to the Prince and Sage, who have been speaking more formally.]
's fine, the Sage is holdin' my leash anyway.
[Unlike most of the wizards, who can come and go at will, Bradley has extra steps he has to take. So he might as well say something here and be useful, if only to have some control over the narrative.]
Unless any of your men are secretly wizards, I'd advise to stay away from mana stones. Handlin' them's one thing, but usin' 'em is a bad idea for humans. You'll die, slowly and painfully.
[Just. Putting that out to start with. He doesn't want some foolish human to suffer a cruel death because they tried to use a mana stone.]
Beyond that, it's hard to call 'em a resource. They're pretty rare, and even a witch or wizard who knows where to find 'em might only find a couple every year. 's not like you can just mine into the earth to find 'em or anythin'. And especially with the Great Calamity comin' up soon and all, we Sage's Wizards have to use any we find.
[He gestures to the Prince. Speaking of which, Aventurine would be able to see a mark on the back of Arthur's right hand. And if he looks carefully, he'll see the very ends of that same design poking out under the bottom of Bradley's shirt when he walks. His mark appears to be on his left flank, based on those small bits poking out.]
