It's nearly exhausting enough to melt flesh from bone. But honestly, he's never been one for the naked skeleton look. Even with his Essence at it's most gaunt, he's done his part to keep a scrap of skin or a paltry down of feather on hand. And really, the pulsing chunk of magic crammed at the edge of him might be unpleasant - will, he is certain, rip him to pieces if he isn't careful -, but it's not like it's doing much more than siphoning him off in slow motion right this second.
So no, the skin stays. But he adds a bit of unearthly smoke and nauseated green asp tongues of fire racing here and there for effect. And because he is annoyed.
"What exactly is it that you think we should be working on together? Knittibg socks for all the Kirkwall orphans? Sending me flapping around from one end of the continent to another, dropping baskets full of puppies whenever I spot a large enough pack of people with sad eyes? Or, no. I'll bet it's closer to Bartimaeus, I'd like you to go straight away ti fire bombing Minrathous if you please. Never mind the semantics."
