1200 is too long... He should just give it up. [ don't just tell old men to die, scien ] But I've been abnormal since I was 2, much less ninety-whatever.

[ at least he's genuine about something always being wrong with him!! but he looks thoughtful, glancing out toward the nearest window in the direction of the village ]

There is nothing left in my world for me. I saved my island, and left it since they just wanted me to do politics. I'd rather walk straight into the gates of Hades and never return. I lack interest in being called a savior or a leader or even a god. My apprentice is dead and I've fulfilled my duty.

[ all said objectively, not with much sadness. he turns back to gale, regarding him with no small amount of curiosity ]

But I do not think it is over for me, or perhaps selfishly I refuse for it to be. I simply want to be excited again. Interested in something, or someone. Being here with all of you is the closest thing to it, even if over half of you mostly just annoy me.

You aren't bad, though. [ also teasing: ] I could last maybe thirty years trapped in a cramped, shared ghost consciousness with you.
