Selene and Kurama
"I am not adverse to personal danger if the cause is just, the danger unavoidable." Selene gestured at the Banshee. I have a crew, though. Ephemerals. Every day even more precious, because they are blessed with so few. I will not risk them unless they also agree to the task. Fortunately, our operation does well, as you can see, and is expanding. I may well be able to be away from them now and then."
She smiled a little. "About a week ago, I turned 662. Older than many, not as old as some. I first became a soldier of my people, they called us the Death Dealers, when I was 19. When I said I had been a soldier for over six centuries, I was not exaggerating. My kind do not age; we live until we are killed. Fortunately for me, that is not an easy task."
