I'm ready to quit. This, all of it.

Immortality isn't a gift. It's a curse to watch everyone you ever loved die. All of them are dying and I can't stand it anymore.

I don't. I try not to think about her at all.

[a_time_slip]

Hard, isn't it?

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Impossible.

[a_time_slip]

You'll learn to stop hoping.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

I've never had hope. But I'll never stop...

This was about immortality.

[a_time_slip]

Then lets get back to that subject.

Is Lynn immortal?

[a_time_slip]

Yes, but she's leaving.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

[a_time_slip]

...She went with her Dad for the weekend.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

A weekend. She'll be back.

[a_time_slip]

She doesn't want to come back. I'm going to lose her for good the day she finishes high school.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

I doubt that. She's very protective of you. In fact, she told me you two are like best friends.

[a_time_slip]

...She talks to you? We used to be like that, but- I don't know what happened.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Once in a while. Pre-teens are like that. They want their independence. She'll come around.

[a_time_slip]

I hope you're right.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

*he shrugs* Time will tell. And that's one thing you have with her.

[a_time_slip]

You don't have that with Annika, do you? Do you have it with Moira?

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Not with Annika, no. I don't know about Moira. Or Maddie.

[a_time_slip]

Enjoy what you have with them.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

I do. But it's limited. They'll die.

[a_time_slip]

How old are you?

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Nearly 50.

[a_time_slip]

You've got so long... I hope you find people that can last.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

I like the ones I have...
