...well. He already... I know him, you know. I have known him, for some time.
In my realm, he is not... as he is here, yet. I think... based on what I have learned, he will be a ghost - perhaps very freshly so. [ xie lian pauses for a moment, there, and reaches up to his neck, fiddling absently with the ring on a chain. ]
... He told me, in not so many words, that he spent eight centuries searching for me. Those eight centuries have not happened for me yet, so... I want to find him long before that.
[ he tilts his head, thinking. immortality, lately, has been on xie lian's mind with a vengeance; he, after all, died just a day ago, and came back to life because of jun wu's gift.
what is it like being immortal? ]
... Not what I thought it would be. [ considering everything that has happened to him, and considering what might just lie ahead. ] But...
...It gives me a chance to help people. [ to jump in front of the point of a sword. to leap on a bomb. to save the lives of others, over and over and over, without fear of his own.
(not that he really had any fear, anyway). ] And that's the best part of it.

oh wow. flat looks at him with wide eyes, unable to wrap his head around all that time. eight centuries... ]
I'm sure you'll find him way before then. That way, he won't have to be so lonely.
[ and xie lian, too, can have a friend. ]

...immortality to help others, huh...
that doesn't sound too bad, when it's presented like that. it makes the end result a little less scary. ]
That sounds nice. I wonder if I could do something like that...
