What was this? 'Romance never dies?' From Claire?
Well, it seemed she was softer than she made herself out to be. Or she was bullshitting him. He couldn't quite choose.
Despite his morose mood, the idea of chivalry amused him. "Chivalry is best left in the past when women were sold like cattle and men bludgeoned each other with large sticks. The price of equality, I suppose, but I for one will not miss having to duel to the death for the sake of honour."
A piece of information he had learned from Michael; although he was not sure if he had gotten it correct. He had been down a bottle of vodka at the time and complaining about the lack of decency in the world.
But it was only a mild distraction from the heart of the issue. With a sigh, he decided it wasn't worth avoiding any longer. "Yeah, I am dying. I don't know how long I have, but it is getting worse. This...condition..."
-what the fuck else was it? He had no idea. - "I am in this sorry state because of a mistake. A friend - he's dead now - fucked up experimenting with our power. It left a hole in my mind and body. I don't know if it can be fixed, but I sure as hell can't go to a doctor. Besides, that's not the worst of it,"
he laughed. "I met a man. I bet you'd like him, he's into prophecy and fortune-telling. He told me the world is about to end."
The laughter died on his tongue. "From what I've seen, I believe him."
