Yes. They do. And I do not. But that has never caused me to fear loving mortals. Even if the loss is inevitable. Even if it breaks my heart every time. It's worth it for what comes before.
And loving another immortal won't keep me from that pain. I've outlived countless number of my 'kin'.
Habit. Not exactly something I announce regularly back home. Here? It does lead to a lot of questions. Case in point. Or some expectation that I'm something more than I am. I'm just a guy.

Thank you, Nate. And I've met gods and angels in this place. So that does make what I am seem rather quaint...
