"What if the price was everlasting life? Which meant watching everyone around you age and suffer and die while you lived on as perfect as you were in the prime of your youth?" he asked, staring up at the ceiling. Clearly the young man was quite inebriated or he would not have revealed so much about himself- not that he said explicitly that he was speaking about himself but one could only imagine. Where else would such a far-fetched notion come from? Perhaps that was why each time Dorian seemed to be injured the very next day he walked about completely unscathed...
Curious.
"And if you had no choice in the matter. If youth, life, agelessness, god-like immortality was given to you without you even knowing or having a say? Do you think you'd embrace it, Selwyn or would you think of it as a curse?" It was a wonder the man spoke so casually with her. Clearly he didn't know what it was like to have "friends" or did not know the classifications of one.
