Alright, we got any priests here? Tanyuu says we need one.

[There’s a lot more he could say here, like the fact that they’re specifically looking for a Shinto priest, and that they need one so Reira can experience a proper shichi-go-san festival, and that he suggested that maybe it didn’t really matter since it’s all symbolic anyway, and Tanyuu didn’t seem to like that suggestion.

But none of that has occurred to him, so here we are.]

It's tough to really think about.

[An expanse of time on that scale... he doesn't even really want to think about it. Hell, he doesn't even like thinking ten or twenty years forward.]

I guess, if you're a fae, you focus on running your realm. ...Or carnival, or whatever it is you've got.

And it all just blurs together...?

[It's hard to imagine and harder to relate. A few days without travel or fighting, she starts getting antsy.]

I guess.

[dontpokethat]

Right. Most likely.

Kinda makes you glad the rest of us don't have to deal with that, huh?

[impatientdefense]

Eh. I mean...

Don't we? I heard there's some kids here, who haven't been, like... aging. If we never go home...

[dontpokethat]

...Maybe. But the option not to renew our contracts means that, if we ever do decide we've had enough, we can go back. It's up to us whether we keep living like this, or not, right?

[impatientdefense]

Heh. Right. So it's just... Optional immortality. Opt-in immortality.

[dontpokethat]

Something like that. Just for the immortality-inclined.
