(after listening, it's jonas' turn to speak. for a moment, he's silent, commiserating inwardly with zagreus looking embarrassed and feeling out of place. when finally he's decided on what to say, it's with a little lean forward.) None of this is familiar to me. Honestly, just talking, even if it's about stuff I know nothing about, is helping.

So, like, if there's a specific way you guys celebrate something in the Underworld or hang out or whatever, let me know; sometime soon, we can go and do that, too.

(then they'd both feel better, wouldn't they?

for jonas, learning new things isn't always interesting, but learning about people is. as much as he grumps and claims to be an antisocial loner, he is the complete opposite. he misses worthwhile connection; has he ever truly experienced it outside of his own home?)

Anyway... I'd rather not be immortal, but, man, you describing it like that really makes me want to taste it.
