[Lol don't worry Orph, they've already worked through that possible dilemma. They're also just hoping that people haven't simply stopped dying back home. Now that would be a story worthy of a written verse!]

Being mortal really does change how you think. There's something about the tedium of it-- all the eating and sleeping and whatnot-- that really makes you appreciate the few conveniences available to you. [That's what bothers Zag the most. He feels like he could be doing something better with his time instead of performing this endless cycle of upkeep.] But I'm enjoying myself! It's an adventure, I suppose. And I do rather like the mortals. Shades are so morose, but live humans seem to put a lot into seizing their day, as it were. I can appreciate that mindset.
