Bump

After I sort things out for my guest here we will leave.
*Turns looking in your direction momentarily before looking back to Collin as I step onto the balcony.*

So, if you wish to have a roof of your own son I'd like you to decide where it's going to be if not I can create a room in the keep. Your choice.
*Leans on stone railing overlooking the vast forest below, awaiting your answer.*
<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>
Quite right, well except for Purgatory they just simply can't bother a soul there.
*Shrugs, standing up from my seat.*
<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>
Follow me.
*Walks over to a pair of double doors opening them to reveal a balcony.*
<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>
*My expression was incredibly conflicted. On the one hand: retirement, finally. On the other hand: coming from a guy like that, I wasn't sure I wanted to go to any afterlife he was offering. There was also, a particular aspect to consider.*
Eh, nah it's fine. I already step on enough divine toes just by existing. I can't imagine how many more I'd twig if I stepped anywhere near a divine plane. My body has this sort of... adaptational quality. Normally, it automatically indiscriminately rejects any sort of "alteration", but if I were to start willingly intaking the divine energy of an upper plane? Well, I'm already immortal in one aspect, but that might actually cause me to ascend to proper divinity or something. Frankly, I have no desire for more power, despite the circumstances. I'm much happier just using what I have and fighting the battles I can.
Tough crowd

*I snorted in semi-disbelief.*
Damn, what a way to nuke my sense of scale from orbit. If you don't consider yourself comparable to a god, then I'd quite hate to so much as breath the same oxygen as something you actually think qualifies.
*Maybe it had simply been so long that I'd forgotten what godly auras felt like. Maybe it was simply that when I was standing before the Pantheons, I'd been too weak to sense them the same way I could sense Alna now. Whatever the case, I quite hoped that such things stayed thoroughly not my problem for a long long time.

*I chose not to outright dispute that, despite just how... frankly incorrect he was. I couldn't age. My body was not normal, not mortal any longer. Even now, I could only vaguely grasp the theory behind what happened when I self-resurrected. After all, I could only analyze it while dead. This guy wasn't the first Death God and/or concept of Death I'd stood before, and if all those other guys combined couldn't kill me, despite definitely wanting to? Well, I wasn't about to give this guy's promise much credence. Honestly, best case scenario, this "Uncle Death" knew perfectly well the reality and was just playing it off; after all, Death had a reputation to maintain with all these other guys. Outwardly, I merely shrugged with a wry expression.*
If that day comes, sure, but I've long since given up on there being an afterlife for me.
*I snorted and rolled my eyes at the following puns.*
@Lewascan2 I am just imagining at this point Collin is frothing at the mouth with the sheer amount of auras in his face.
