Not that I don't believe, respect, and admire your spirit but I should tell you threats in general don't always apply, let alone this one. But your intent is duly noted.

Why would I want to hurt him?

He's ordered castrations.



That's not an answer to my question by the way, just a fact that I've learnt.

[whichend]

The intent is strong.

Many others have wanted to do just that, where we are from.

Now that does not surprise me.

[elltee]

So am I.

But I wonder what he saves for punishment for those who would try to kill him, if he's using all the orders and threats of castration for you. More, or less painful, do you think?

[whichend]

Depends on if death is more or less painful than castration. I think it could be argued either way.

[elltee]

Interesting.

How would you argue?

[whichend]

Once you are dead, you feel nothing. Death, therefore, takes the pain away. Castration causes tremendous pain, and I imagine it would persist long after the deed was done.

[elltee]

Or, if the castrator has a shaky hand, the castrated ends up dead anyways, after a long time of pain.

Then again pain is temporary. Death is pretty final.

[whichend]

But all men must die. All men need not be castrated.

[elltee]

Depends on who you ask I think.

[whichend]

.......

Do you want all men castrated?

[elltee]

I have, as they say, no salamander in the race on either the castration or the inevitability of death.

But I have met a handful of delightful young ladies who wouldn't, probably, object. Might even volunteer to wield the knife.

We must consider all opinions.

[whichend]

Their opinions are just, I think. But it is impossible to castrate every last man on earth. There will always be one who can hide, who can evade that fate. But those same men cannot run from death.

[elltee]

And where's that leave us undead? Some of us have got castratey bits and a very long stride that puts us well ahead of death.

Though if an angry mob is lopping bits off of a vampire it's usually his head. His actual head.

[whichend]

Are you truly immortal?

[elltee]

You know that's exactly the sort of thing they ask before they put a stake through your heart.

[whichend]

I have no wish to put a stake through your heart.

But I do understand your caution.

[elltee]

Thanks. In turn, I will say that I have no wish to eat/seduce anyone you love.

But since we're friends: technically yes. Immortality is a part of the package. Though it's really more of a sustained longevity since there are things that can 1) deter us and 2) deter us more finally. Nature does like to give a sporting chance.

[ friends? friends????? but mal is so cool this does not compute ]

It must be nice. Not having to worry about so many things that could kill you.

[elltee]

[just go with it Arya]

You know what's funny about worry, if you're not worried about one thing, you'll still be worried about another.

Not that I worry very much.

[whichend]

That is how life works. I doubt I will be able to stop worrying until I am dead.

You're lucky.

[elltee]

If I get too philosophical and say 'from some perspectives yes from others, no', it's going to come off like a total arsehole thing to say, isn't it.

[whichend]

Perhaps you have to say it with the swish of a cape.

[elltee]

I certainly hope you're not mocking me, Arya.

[whichend]

Why would I be? Capes are worn to make oneself cooler, so you may as well put it to good use.

[elltee]

I've been told capes are for 'super villains with a flair for the dramatic'. Apologies if I'm a bit nervous.

Personally I agree with you: they're cool.
