i have died everyday waiting for you
Mort's smile is as golden as ever, though it's sadness that deepens his dimples now as he hears Ronin out. "Peace rarely does, outside of death." He agrees with a slow nod. "It's why I am always so eager to bring you all to me, because only my realm offers you the peace you so crave, but here..." Mort looks around, his eyes seeing far more than what there was. "..the peace that Remi felt with me has no chance of lasting." The god admits with a soft sigh.
"It is why I am so hesitant to appear these days, especially as conflict draws closer." Mort adds, looking down into his tea. "I fear my presence only encourages a sprint towards death once those around me realize what a welcome rest it would bring them." The God continues, appearing wounded by the content of his own words. "But for Remi..for any who are constantly so near death...have you ever wondered why Ludo is so fond of games? If things which bring it joy? For both Ludo and Remi alike, the shadow of death is always so near, and yet there's no consolation in it, because it is not a place they are able to permanently find themselves."
