I'll be honest, it didn't sit well with me.
[they glance away.]
But death isn't new to me, either, so.

[ after life at a military academy, she just nods. some people are just more accustomed to these things. ]
I see... so you've had your fair share of loss as well.

Ah. I don't believe I've reached that point yet.
[ she doesn't know if the embodiment of wrath really has, either. ]
It's certainly not an enviable position. I assume you speak of some life you held before this strange race.

I do, yeah. I've died about, uh, a hundred or so times myself? Maybe more, depending on how you count.
Don't do that. It desensitizes you real fast.

...I'm fairly sure I
can't
do that, even if I wanted to.
[ just. yeah. ]
Was it some sort of curse? Undeath?

[they appreciate that.]
Yeah, maybe. I think I was already a bit, uh, you know.
[they twirl their finger in a circle next to their head.]
To start with.

Well, in that case you're certainly among like-minded company.

[well, you see, wrath is not expecting that. which is why they splutter slightly, indignantly.]
No.

[ yeah very convincing reaction... ]
Don't you, though?
[ she laughs a little, good-natured. ]
I'm not one to spread rumors. But might I ask what you like about them?

[there is smoke coming out from under their hood.]
