Claire puffed the sound of disbelief. "Like you'd duel to the death for honor."
But when the topic turned morbid, she was strangely unaffected. Death just didn't hold power over her like it probably should. She feared the process of dying a tortured, painful death, but pondering the moment she ceased her hold on life was not disturbing. She was not particularly religious but her spirit longed for an explanation for things. She'd spent most of her youth bouncing from one religion to another. June's spells and chants was the only one that stuck.
"Eventually the world ends and eventually we all die. There's nothing we can do about either except manage the circumstances of both. I'd prefer to not die a painful death and I'd prefer to hang onto a few normals in the world before it burns up. Maybe nobody can do anything for you, but I can probably track down something we can both enjoy that'll make sure you don't care so much. Interested?"
The legality of such substances still awed her. There were vending machines on every other corner in Moscow.
