[AAAAAAAAA also this is so funny. Mentally assigns Wario a bozo who would let kids climb all over them not out of fondness but out of decision paralysis on how to get them off.]
Of course. Children are lovely! They're so thoughtful and sweet, and they're much sharper than many would give them credit for. They can see things easily overlooked by adults. [And then, amused:] I take it you're unused to working with them, then?
Many from my dynasty live longer than even that length of time with the help of a consecution of magic from an ancient artifact. After the process, we're reborn anew and begin life again once more.

[ children....... ]
The only children I have ever had to care for was my younger brother.
no subject
Oh! Did the two of you get along well?
[He says, fully expecting the answer to be yes because why wouldn't it be??]
no subject
Yes, we did. We still do.
no subject
I'm very glad to hear it. [Because the most important thing in the world is FAMILY!!!!] May I ask how much younger he is?
no subject
He is the youngest soul in our den. A few decades younger than me.
no subject
A few decades younger, and still the youngest?
[Local short lifespanner continues to be shocked by the long lifespans of other people.]
no subject
Yes. Our lifespans are long. Close to a thousand years.
no subject
A thousand years... [IMAGINE A WORLD.] Even among those here, I haven't heard of such a high number.

Many from my dynasty live longer than even that length of time with the help of a consecution of magic from an ancient artifact. After the process, we're reborn anew and begin life again once more.
It's an event in which our faith is based.
no subject
So through this artifact, you're able to be reborn completely...? Do you experience a new life in its entirety?
no subject
no subject
Do you find it a comfort?
no subject
It's a high honor to go through the process, but I want to know more about what's behind it.
no subject
I see... Is the information guarded, or unknown?
no subject
It is unknown.
no subject
Has anyone attempted to understand it before...?
no subject
I feel as if I am the only one most of the time. Not many question our faith.

There is a very faint and brief frown.]
Would you say you're the curious sort in general?
