[Eley's tone turns a little more serious at that question. He'd almost hoped that she wouldn't question it at all but it seems that somehow... for some reason... she had suddenly taken somewhat of an interest.]

It can be dangerous in the wrong hands, yes. But... that is why I hope to keep it and give it to one who I deem worthy to carry a piece of my essence. It presents a risk, but it could also prove useful. For example, should I be destroyed, this part of me may yet live on away from the danger.

I wish for it more as... a token of protection, however. For another. I am still not sure if it will even work as I had hoped.
