[ Rune wouldn't allow any distractions. Or, at least, all the time. He's very serious when it comes to magic, and if it's something they could possibly share together, it will give him even more focus. But having conversations like this are enough to divert his attention elsewhere for a time. ]

I'm much older than that. [ Though not quite as old as ancient? Whatever number that's supposed to be. ] If I remember – I'm a little over two-hundred. There's really no need to keep track of those things like humans do. I don't think I have since I was young.

[ When he was around He Ming's age, he means. It's strange to find himself talking about it, thus thinking about it, but it's just the natural progression of someone with a long lifespan. Most witches don't look terribly old regardless unless something went wrong with their magic or they've been cursed, so it's almost always difficult to pinpoint their age. Ciro is older than him, but Rune's discipline makes him seem older. It's all rather different when mortality isn't a factor.

Which has him thinking about He Ming and his limited time here. It cuts deeper than he's expecting, and it's something he wants to change. Somehow. Some day. ]


Does it bother you? [ Because he can never be sure. ]
