Her comment about missing her friends made him pause for a moment. he was incredibly lucky to have Percy and Marguerite here. He was luckier than quite a few others, and he was most thankful for that. He had friends where he was from, yes, but he did not miss them much because his family was here. He had also made new friends, and had developed a relationship with Lydia that pleased him greatly. He was very lucky and he knew it. It had been foolish to possibly throw it all away by volunteering to be Death. He knew now how much he had to lose.
"I did not know you had friends who used to be here," he said, beginning to pull out the other ingredients he needed. "What are your friends like? Both those here who I have not met, and those who are at home. I admit I know bits and pieces from talking to you and Allison, but I do not know them personally yet." He started to cut the vegetables as soon as he got a knife. Learning more about Lydia could only be a good thing.
