Mm. That is.. indeed a concern. But it is better to focus on the happiness you have with them now. The future will come whether you worry or not.

If by the time you leave there are those you cannot part from, you can address it then. To take them home with us or seek a way to their world.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[About that...]

If I were to go to someone else's world with them... Would it be possible for me to return to ours still? I would outlive them all, after all. Sooner or later, I would need to go home.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

A reliable means to traverse between worlds is something we are attempting to master. But it is not yet finished. I have full faith we will unlock the secrets to it, but for now it is certainly something to consider carefully.

Alexander and I are able to traverse between worlds but our methods cannot be used by others, even you.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Oh. How so?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

It requires forsaking your flesh. While living on as an untethered soul is quite within your power, I do not think you should pursue the experience. Especially when other means can be found.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[Hmmmm.]

...is it an unpleasant experience, then?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Forsaking your body is not an experience I recommend. Not for any reason. It is not exactly reversible.

Moreover very few have the gift enough to see what is not physical. To interact with the material world you would need a body to possess. You could learn to take over corpses, I suppose, but that comes with its own unpleasantness.

Better to work on a viable method.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[He makes a bit of a face at the mention of possessing corpses.]

I... Yes, I would prefer to avoid that. But I assume you have ideas when it comes to that viable method?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Several. It is best to work from multiple angles after all.

But if you wish to be of help in that regard, perhaps those you speak to regularly might have such concepts as world and dimensional travel you could probe them on. More knowledge is ever useful.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[He stares into the distance for a bit, rifling through the options.]

Hmmm... Apart from our shared acquaintances... I can't really think of anyone off the top of my head, but I'll ask around. It may be simply that the topic has never come up before. Skylark's world has some manner of traversing time, I believe, but not space or borders between worlds...

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Time is also a good resource. In truth the matter of distance is less important than the matter of travelling it in a reasonable time.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

I'll see what I can find out, then.

[He smiles, taking another sip of tea.]

Is there anything else I can help with?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I imagine that is enough of an assignment for now, don't you? Between your social engagements and lovers I would not want you to feel too overwhelmed.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[--alright, that makes him laugh.]

I'll have you know the matter of my lovers is easy enough to organize.

[Have you heard of foursomes]

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Really? Perhaps that is youthful stamina then.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Well, dreams are helpful things there, too.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I suppose they are. I assume you have Lily's help there then.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Usually, yes. Sometimes Absinthe's, though those are normally private encounters.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I doubt I need the details. I'm simply happy you are energetic and enjoying yourself.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[Oh this is funny though.]

I mean, I don't mind providing details.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Oh? Could it be you wish to fluster me? I'm not Emet-Selch however, you realize.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

He did back down very quickly when I tried this with him, indeed!

[Oh, but this reminds him.]

Oh, what if you try to fluster me? We played this game with Nero too, but he had absolutely nothing on me. I've yet to tell Vergil his son lost at something.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I cannot fathom why you would wish to be flustered by an old man.

But you were not too teasing with Nero, I hope?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Why indeed.

And, well, he survived! So I think I was fair enough.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Hm. Why indeed. Perhaps your desire for attention, affirmation and affection to combat your existential uncertainties, as well as isolation of your position as an immoral among mortals?

[He takes a sip of tea.]

Well, if he was fine that is fine. But do be kind, Nero has his own hangups and jealousies.
