Re: After people have started dancing - Claire (ABC) and Gabriel
"Why would I want that?" Gabriel asked quietly as he looked over at her, a heavy frown on his face. He had a feeling that he knew what she was playing at. She was trying to find out whether he had the same urges, the same desires has his older self. And while that was true to an extent, that he could see her ability, that his ability wanted to know so desperately how it worked, he, himself, did not want it.
"I can't imagine what you've been through, what you're going to have to go through because of that. Why would I want the knowledge that I'm going to have to watch everyone that I care about age and die before my eyes while there is absolutely nothing that I can do about it? Why would I want the burden of knowing that I can never die no matter how bad things get around me, no matter how much I might want to? Why would anyone ask for that unless they were in constant fear for their life?"
