[Jingyi had a point, it wouldn't be him that would have to put up with it if they were able to actually go back with their memories intact. And even if they did, Idia really had no love for himself, so why would he for another version of himself? He's got his own shit to deal with without dealing with the idea of cleaning up the mess for another him.
So the more important factor, if ignoring the other 'him', was,] Yeah, but until they leave I have to put up with them. I don't want to explain all that. I don't know how to start. [Well, Idia did, but only in STYX setting. And there it really didn't matter, you just told them enough to keep the patient calm and to make them follow along with the experiments. It's not like they remember any of it afterwards anyways.
Idia still jumps at that tail thwap the first few times, but realizing what it was and that it kept a stead beat, he gets used to it until it becomes background noise.] What about negative energies that take on a form all by themselves after killing the person they come from? [Had Idia explained Phantoms yet to Jingyi? He's not sure. Maybe. Really, it was a lot to cover. And... Jingyi was actually doing well to understand it, despite the differences between their worlds. It's not like Idia has one of the STYX scientists to bounce ideas off here, though Jingyi wasn't doing poorly at it.] Phantoms are a manifestation of Overblot. If not stopped they feed off the hosts magic until it runs out and the wizard's body disappears. [A bit of an angry sigh from Idia as he considers his own way of phrasing it.] The hosts just act as a flowerbed for the Phantom to bloom and taken nutrients from.
