[This is the expression of a child who just got what he wanted for Christmas, set on a face that would have been suitably boyish if his eyes had not been quite so unnerving. One was a dark grey marble and the other, unnaturally pale with a tiny pinhole pupil. An indistinct feeling of discomfort generally accompanies those who stare at him too long.]

A new scrying stone in my pocket and a new sword? I do hope that everybody's Hogswatch was as happy as mine.

That's a shame, sir. A real shame, when you can acknowledge something but not feel it yourself. [He knew that feeling. Not with excitement, of course. More like... compassion and regret and restraint. Still.]

It is very easy to acknowledge something you find boring when you have been alive for all eternity and before even that.

[Teatime opens and closes his mouth a few times, blinking owlishly all the while.]

That's a long time to be alive, sir. [His tone lilts, hinting at a question. 'Alive for all eternity' sounds like a challenge to him.]

It certainly is. I was alive when everything was perfectly black and there was not another around. Not even God. Wrap your mind around that.

[He cocks his head, eyes turned toward the ceiling as he digests this new information.]

But that would make you...

That would make me very old.

[That is one way to finish that sentence anyways.]

Devastatingly old. [He leans in as if that will uncover some hidden detail he'd overlooked before.]

You get the picture it seems. Does this interest you?

Oh yes, sir. It's very interesting. [He is the picture of an eager child.] I bet you have a lot of... experience.

Oh, more than you can ever imagine. I'd share if I cared at all about doing so.

But you don't.

[He doesn't seem dissuaded by this in the least.]

Correct. At least somebody has a braincell or two floating about.

[A pause.]

And how long have you been alive? You seem awfully interested.

[He takes this compliment with a disconnected smile. Death doesn't seem particularly guarded, more like apathetic, which lends credibility to his story. Teatime isn't sure who or what he is, because there certainly aren't any creation type myths from his world that involved such an unassuming figure. He was a mystery-- one of the most interesting things to plan to kill.]

Not any longer than I should, sir. But immortal seems like a good thing to be. I've been working on that little conundrum myself.

[And that will be an intriguing meeting indeed though Death will be perplexed and highly amused at an attempt on his life if such a word can be applied to him. He does find himself curious of that attempting immortality business.]

Really? How are you going about that?

Why, by killing Death, sir.

[Teatime had never quite mastered the expression for 'sheepish' because he couldn't recall a single time in his life where he felt that way, but he could acknowledge that most people thought it a foolish venture, so he added:]

It's just a theory. A hobby.

[This is not the first time that somebody intended on killing Death. Nonetheless, it is something else to hear it said so profoundly. There was quite the hilarious notion back in his own world where a couple of fools thought it could be done. He very nearly laughs. This one is definitely interesting.]

Killing Death? It sounds like a fool's errand. In a place like this, dying does not mean a thing. Anybody can achieve immortality in a sense.

That's the first I've heard of it. Is there no death in this realm?

Well, there is a Death. His job is simply not in effect here...not that he belonged to this realm to begin with. The rules of this place are different. You can die and return as if it never happened from what I gather.

[He isn't sure if he should be disappointed that death isn't permanent or delighted that he can kill the same people over and over again.]

Well that's... unnatural. [Disappointment wins this round.]

[Then they share a sentiment in this case. Death would much rather have those dying being permanent. Too many here had already died naturally or as naturally as their plan allowed for.]

Quite unnatural. Something like that being taken away makes living seem almost pointless, doesn't it?

It certainly does. [How is he going to do his job now? :c]

Par for the course for, though, isn't it sir? [He rolls his eyes toward the ceiling thoughtfully] Do immortal folk care about the mortality of others?

Indeed it is.

[There is no job here for them. It's sad, but true. They will have to cope with that. Death really wants to be able to take the souls of those that need to be dead right now. He shrugs.]

I care in terms of what is meant to be. It is not morality so much as an order that is in an imbalance here. Caring is for those that live a life that is barely a blip on the radar if even that.
