Four years, yes.

I never thought four years could be a long time.

[neverdied]

Long by these standards, so I hear.

[foreshadower]

Quite so, yes.
And yet it feels no more real than when I arrived.

[neverdied]

Might be nice to stay a while. Only been here a few months. 4 years is doable, done time longer than time.

[foreshadower]

Your world must offer little, then, if you're not concerned with returning.

Personally, I miss my Opal far too much, now.

[neverdied]

Yeah. It doesn't.
Opal?

[foreshadower]

She is my city, and a finer one I have never found.

[neverdied]

Where?

[He seriously can't think of any Opal he's ever visited.]

[foreshadower]

East coast. She's the lone bright spot in the entire seaboard, but it doesn't exist in most worlds.

[neverdied]

Yeah. Didn't exist in my world.
You want to go home?

[foreshadower]

Of course I do! My life is there, my home, my flowers...

How could I not?

[neverdied]

Dunno. Some seem to prefer this place.

[foreshadower]

Foolish people, perhaps.
Myself? I'm looking forward to the day I can finally step back to Opal's streets.

[neverdied]

You don't like this place?

[foreshadower]

As well as any other place I've traveled to.
Very nice to visit, but staying...

[neverdied]

Four years is just an extended visit. Not so bad.

[foreshadower]

A miserable visit, if you ask me! I would prefer something a little less lengthy. I have things to get back to, after all.

[neverdied]

Like?

[foreshadower]

My roses, my home, my library...

Perhaps even my friends? There is a great deal I'm missing here.

[neverdied]

Got a lot of immortal friends?

[foreshadower]

I'm afraid not. Most of those sorts tend to be of a more...megalomaniacal nature.

[neverdied]

Yeah. Tends to be a thing with immortals.
