An odd question, I am sure, but I wonder...

I thought of the ghosts and the waters, and the idea that death could be just around the corner. That is that those of us that are just about to slip into that darkness may one day wake up to be choking on our own blood.

Forgive me for such a ... unfortunate image, but my point is ... how many of you have someone who you are close to? How many can say that you have met someone who makes your life worth it all, even if death may be so close? Even if this may all just be a dream?

This need not be romantic, I suppose, but friendship as well.

After all, sometimes it is friendship that can save a life, too, right?

No.

I don't think it will.

voice;

[passively]

... Well, immortals do tend to do that.

Thank you for answering my questions, Yaha.

voice;

[barebacking]

Oh, you are most welcome.

And I am always happy to help.

voice;

[passively]

Thank you. You too, if you need anything, I'll at least lend an ear.

voice;

[barebacking]

You're most welcome.

And I'm so happy to know I have an ear to give my troubles to.

voice;

[passively]

I'm not a comforting sort of person. I apologize that I can't offer you more.

voice;

[barebacking]

That is all right.

Sometimes all a person is needs is someone to talk to. There need not be any grander gesture than that.

voice;

[passively]

You may be right. I get comforted by just the presence of someone, so it must work in a similar fashion.

voice;

[barebacking]

Of course, it does.

That is why I am happy now... where I am... where my body is... my love is sitting next to me. Whenever I feel alone here, I know he is there, and that knowledge makes me happy.

voice;

[passively]

...

I hope your happiness lasts as long as possible, Yaha.

voice;

[barebacking]

Thank you, dear.

You're very sweet.

voice;

[passively]

[He laughs quietly. Not very heartily.]

Thank you. If fate smiles down upon us, I'm sure we'll both be fine.

voice;

[barebacking]

One can always hope.

voice;

[passively]

Indeed.

... It was nice meeting you, Yaha. I hope you have a good day.

voice;

[barebacking]

I will.

I was able to meet you, after all.

Stay safe, dear.

voice;

[passively]

Thank you. I'll do my best.
