"When you died," I said, trying to phrase it in a decent way. "How did you feel?"
"Like passing out from extreme pain, not knowing if it'll ever stop hurting," the elven child said. "I remember seeing a dream when I died, but I can't remember the dream."
"Likewise," the male one said. "Though in my case, I'd already accepted death so it was a little easier. Of course, it still hurt tremendously."
