“I’m so exhausted I want to peel off my skin and die.”

“Pretty sure that feeling isn’t exhaustion, buddy.”

“I’m so exhausted I want to peel off my skin and die.”

“Pretty sure that feeling isn’t exhaustion, buddy.”

“You’re going to be okay,” says the immortal to xir dying lover “It’s going to be okay. You’ll be fine. I know little of the world of the dead. But I know it is kind.”

“To be without you is a grave cruelty indeed,” smiles xir lover weakly “I’ll come back for you. In another lifetime.”

“In my only lifetime,” xe agrees “I’ll see you again.”

“To be without you is a grave cruelty indeed,” smiles xir lover weakly “I’ll come back for you. In another lifetime.”

“In my only lifetime,” xe agrees “I’ll see you again.”

“Oh dear.”

“Yes, honey?”

“No, sorry dear. I meant ‘oh dear, there’s a severed head on the doorstop’.”

“Why won’t you teach me?” frowns the sidekick “What if I get captured one day?”

“Look,” says the hero “If you get caught, and someone threatens to torture you for information- on me, on my loved ones, on anything at all– you tell them. You don’t try and hold out. It’s not worth that.”

“Look,” says the hero “If you get caught, and someone threatens to torture you for information- on me, on my loved ones, on anything at all– you tell them. You don’t try and hold out. It’s not worth that.”

“I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.”

“Five people are dead. 

“I didn’t- I don’t know what’s happening. I just- there were those people and I wanted them to go away and-”

“You killed them.”

“No! Maybe. I don’t know what’s going on.”

The immortal gazes at the grave silently. Everyone leaves eventually. This is nothing to be sad about. It’s not.

“Goddamnit,” xe curses, brushing away tears “Goddamnit we were supposed to have another thirty years. It’s too soon.”

It’s always too soon.
