[It occurs to him only too late that this is likely a conversation she should probably be having with Reign. He never thought he'd meet someone who's actually immortal... just how much has she seen? How much has she lived?]

[How many people has she left behind?]

[The thought tears at his heartstrings and has him falling quiet for a few moments. But when he looks back up, it's with a smile -- and he shakes his head.]

It's nothing. I was just surprised... to think you're going to look this young and cute forever! [He can't lie. But he can at least try and avoid telling the truth.]

You know, Reign's my best friend back home. I've known him since we were children. If you don't mind... I'd like to be your friend, too.
