[ Oh, he. Mydei feels sick. Rage and distress curdle in his stomach at the mere thought - How could she even suggest that? Even imply it as a possibility?? ]
[ It's not that she wants it to be a possibility. She's not happy in the slightest, having typed out those words. But as far as she knows, Phainon isn't immortal like Mydei. And she knows with absolute certainty her touch cannot bring death to someone that's already dead. Maybe there is another possibility - some additional loophole to this power that's always felt so absolute, so isolating - but she doesn't have it in her to hope that's the case.
(nor does she have it in her to think of if this is something she could've had back in Okhema. if she could've given Phainon a hug any of the hundreds of times the desire arose during those idyllic days at the Grove.) ]
[ There is a decent span of time before Mydei responds again. ]
No. I'm sorry. You were only answering my question.
That just [ Is terrifying? Agonizing? He can feel his heart aching - mourning - at the mere thought of it ] doesn't seem possible. He wouldn't let himself die.
[ Mydei will die before Phainon ever even comes close. He's sure of it. ]
[ From her experiences, most people don't let themselves die. But she understands what he means. ]
I will continue to think on it, and see if I can come to another conclusion. [ She'd keep thinking about it regardless, given how unusual this is, but judging from that long silence... it's very much for Mydei's sake. ] In the meantime, please keep an eye on Lord Phainon.

You're right. Please forget I said that.

I will. I'll confront him, as well. He can only run for so long; he has to come home eventually.
