Era shrugged.
"So what do you have to say about yourself, if anything?"

"Erm.. I like the Guild, I have a homicidal maniac for a spirit but I love her anyway, I travel a lot, I sort of ran away from home because my parents didn't care when my little sister dissappeared and I eventually got fed up with them, I like flowers more than is considered natural for a male but I see nothing wrong with that, I like making friends, and, er... Oh, yes, shiny things are nice."
This was very strange.

"Well, I already know about Norai....what about your sister? And I don't see anything wrong with flowers...but they always die..."
This was very creepy.

Demitri nodded. "They do always die... Unless you plant perrenial flowers! Then, even though individual buds die, there's always at least one flower that's thriving! What? Oh, yes, my younger sister dissapeared when I was little, and it made me very angry that my parents didn't seem to care at all... But let's talk of nicer things, shall we? It's all in the past, anyway."

"But they die in the winter. They just come back in the spring....and sometimes I feel like the past was and is more important than the present."

"Well, the past does shape the present, and, therefore, the future... But the present is tomorrow's past, and therefore important, so we should be careful with it!" This was strange logic, but it worked for him...

"But oftentimes tomorrow seems in the past, while yesteryear in the future...."

Demitri raised an eyebrow. "Does it?"

Era thought a moment.
"Yes," she said decisively. "Although I think it's only because I'd like to put the future behind me, and relive some of my past...everything seems to blur together anyways."

"Well, I suppose if you live long enough, time becomes meaningless..." People marveled at Demitri's willingness to accept things. Oh, you claim to be centuries old? Oh, okay. Let's go with that. That's interesting. I believe you. And he meant it.

"And I wish it didn't," she said softly, feeling terribly old and tired. If only it wasn't meaningless...if only it weren't so hard for her to deal with death...

Oh wonderful.
Demitri leaned forward and rested his forehead on the table.
He couldn't do anything right, could he?

She looked at him solemnly, having seen this reaction once before. With when, where, who....she couldn't remember.
Era sighed.
"Look, I'll leave..."

"Ack!" Demitri was up. "No, no! I wasn't trying to be rude! I'm very, very sorry!"

"But I'm making you feel bad..."
Why couldn't she just die and move on to whatever came next?
