Death sighs, then, rubbing his temple a little. "I didn't mean to take out my frustrations on you. It's just that... many of the Travelers seem to think I enjoy this. Taking people from their universes to use as soldiers in a war, or pieces in a game, or... whatever analogy you wish to make. I don't. I enjoy seeing you learn, and transform, and recreate, and change. But if keeping you here in Liminal Space is the price I have to pay for it, I would sooner send you back home."
He pats Felih's shoulder, and adds, "If I have my way, you will see him again. Whether he is chosen as a Traveler and brought here, or your life ends and you join him Beyond... you'll see him again.
Felih's ears remain flat, drooping against his hair as he nods.
"I- it's a comfort, to hear you say that. Knowing that not all Arcana see us as toys to play with is... good. It makes being here more bearable," he murmurs. "I'm glad I was marked by you. I've heard less pleasant things about others already."
"...thank you." His heart aches. "...I just wish to hold him again."
