[whowillmourn]

It may also be that having lived in an entire civilization full of vampires who did not hold that belief, I have little need to imagine what I would have been like. I have seen it in a thousand iterations already across the span of my life.

[fogsong]

You don't have to explain, Mayerling, I get it. Your life would've been different, but you've witnessed other vampires live that life.

For me, it reaffirms my choices. You don't need that same affirmation.

[whowillmourn]

I am glad that you have found this affirmation, and I stand by the decisions you've made to do right by you.

[fogsong]

I know you do. I appreciate it. Really. I know the shit I've done wasn't good, and maybe it wasn't even necessary, but I did what I felt I needed. Even that was barely enough.

[whowillmourn]

What is necessary and what is needed emotionally are not always the same thing. When so much was denied you for so long, getting what you could emotionally was necessary.

[fogsong]

Have I told you in the last hour that I love you?

[ lbr, probably ]

[whowillmourn]

I never tire of hearing it or knowing it. You are the most amazing part of Folkmore.

[fogsong]

You're telling me I beat out being able to live around humans and participate in society? Golly gee. [ Yes, she laughed when she typed that. ]

I adore you.

[whowillmourn]

Yes, as incredible as that is, as long as it had been since I was part of a society, you are more wonderful than all of that. I know and appreciate my priorities.

[fogsong]

I wouldn't believe anyone else if they told me that.

You make me happy, and you make this place worth it.

[whowillmourn]

I only appreciate that such intensity of my love does not frighten you away. It can be so great of feeling, and I never want it to overwhelm you.

[fogsong]

It didn't overwhelm me when I first died in Trench, and I don't think it's even possible now. I could drown in your love, Mayerling, and die happy.

So worry not, handsome.

[whowillmourn]

I thought I might lose my mind when that happened, and I might have had you not returned and having returned stayed with me. It is the closest I came to full corruption in Trench.

I ask that you not die, not for a long, long time, for I am greedy and wish as many years with you as I can.

[fogsong]

While I can't make any promises, what with life being life and Folkmore being Folkmore, I will do my very best to stick around as long as humanly (and inhumanly) possible.

[whowillmourn]

It was an unreasonable question when it comes to those matters that are outside our control—I am well aware. Your best is all and the utmost I could expect from you. I admit, I wonder how being a Sleeper and perhaps even a Role might affect how long you can live, and should it make you live longer, I do appreciate that. How much of death in Folkmore is Folkmore versus a Role?

[fogsong]

Death is pretty rare here. The last time there was a string of them, it was the fae. And I don't know if dying of old age is even possible here.

[whowillmourn]

I do not know whether old age can come for people, yet I have clearly seen that people age while they are here. It is most readily seen in the youngest of us, yet I mark it all the same across our friends and neighbors. We grow older, for whatever that means whence we come.

[fogsong]

Wait, you can tell people are aging?

[whowillmourn]

Yes, is that not apparent to everyone? You can see it in people's bodies and faces. You don't need to see their circulatory systems.

[fogsong]

Sometimes. It's obvious in kids, but I never really notice adults aging. Probably too slow a process to be obvious unless I'm looking for it.

[whowillmourn]

Vampires age far slower than humans. In comparison, it happens immensely quickly, to age from start to finish in only a century. I can see it all around us in those we have here.

[fogsong]

[ ...Yeah, she's just not going to overthink that. ] Are you still aging?

[whowillmourn]

I'm still fairly young, so yes, though I must admit the timeframe is such that it will not be noticeable for millennia. [ Mayerling smiles, aware the answer might as well be no to most people at that point. ]

[fogsong]

Aww, I wanted to see old Mayerling. Would you get wrinkles?

[whowillmourn]

Perhaps a couple distinguished eye crinkles given enough time.
