[ Hob shrugs slightly. ]

It has been, at times, but not always.

[ Despite being immortal, it's impossible for him to cut himself off from others. What's the joy in living like that? ]

I've told some people before. Those I wanted to spend my life with. Unfortunately, they didn't live to an old age. If they had, I would have done anything possible to stay with them. Take care of them somehow.

[ He'd just have to figure that out without other people catching on. But hearing she's known an immortal before gets a look of surprise. ]

You have? What happened to them?

[morethan084]

You loved them.

[It's not posed as a question, because it's obvious he had. Why else would he risk everything to stay with them?]

What happened to them?

[Besides the fact that they obviously died young.]

I don't know. We lost touch along the way.

[Which is not the truth, but she doesn't want to stray too far from the intended topic.]
