... You know what? After today, that makes sense.

[ercnerd]

What does?

[stillnot]

That he got better.

[ercnerd]

I had nothing to do with it.

[If something turned out better, he usually had nothing to do with it.]

[stillnot]

Sure, but people where you're from can come back from a lot. Apparently.

[ercnerd]

. . . That mostly applies to immortals. If your experience was shaped by my memories, it's no surprise that you were able to do the same.

[stillnot]

What's it like? Being immortal.

[ercnerd]

What is it like? Well . . . the only difference is that I don't age. I'm still the same now as I was six hundred years ago.

[stillnot]

Do you just... Outlive everyone around you?

[ercnerd]

That's right.

[stillnot]

I really hate being the last person alive.

But it would be nice being strong enough to protect them. You know, for their whole life.

[ercnerd]

Immortality isn't strength. You can live forever without being able to protect anyone, just as you can protect someone for their whole life while remaining mortal.

[stillnot]

You can do more dangerous things if you're not afraid of dying, yourself.

[ercnerd]

I died at the school, too. Relying on immortality when there are ways around it is what idiots do.

[stillnot]

... Good point.

[ercnerd]

You're fine as you are. Don't bother looking for anything unnecessary.

[stillnot]

[ hah. ]

... Well, if you say so.
