"Master, I could only vaguely feel…" the winged skeleton obviously knew what Saleen thought and he wanted to explain, but he realized that if he were to continue talking Saleen would be furious. He could not be blamed, however. At first, he did not know direct soul connection would have such effects. Even when Saleen sealed off the soul pathway between the two of them, he could still see most of his master's thoughts.
The winged skeleton forgot his pain and he realized Saleen was a good mage compared to most of the other death mages. Not only did Saleen provide him with the best shelter, he also did not send him out for unnecessary adventures.
Saleen did not continue talking as he could not just tell the winged skeleton that in the future, when he was making love with Sika, he was not allowed to appear. That was too forceful.
