Soren laughs out loud at my remark.
"Fascinating? What's so fascinating about my age? Does it not scare you- that I have seen many creatures live and die, and even been the cause of some of that death. Does is not terrify you that I have seen hundred decades pass, and yet you have just barely lived two?"
Gingerly, I shrug as Soren pulls up his chair to watch me closer, and eager expression on his face. His fingers tap against the table, awaiting for my answer. But despite the hurried tapping of his fingers, I find myself in no rush, taking my time to chew over my meal and letting its warmth saturate my bones.
"Well, to be honest, I don't really care. There are a lot more peculiar things out there- for instance that I am the reincarnation of a soul who has lived potentially thousands of lifetimes. But if you think telling me your age is going to scare me off, you are dead wrong."
At this, Soren's eyes gleam in delight.
