YEAH BUT THEN MASON WOKE ME UP TO PEE so now i am awake for a little bit

[pushfall]

How's your head doing?

gdi mason

[darkart]

Long recovered. Wizardkind are a bit sturdier than the average human.

oh apparently now i'm gonna pass out again goodbye

[pushfall]

For once I'm not going to tease you for having an unfair advantage. Glad you're feeling better.

GN

[darkart]

Of course.

good morning

[pushfall]

Actually I am going to tease you.

[pushfall]

Get ready.

[pushfall]

Here it comes.

[pushfall]

Are you sure it's due to wizardkind being a little sturdier and not just attributed to you being a blockhead?

[darkart]

Yes, because my body can tolerate potions that regrow vanished bones without going into shock and killing me. Also without interference I'd live upwards of 200 years.

I would say being a professor also negates being a blockhead but some of my colleagues make me wonder.

[pushfall]

I don't think not being a blockhead and being a professor are mutually exclusive. You could live for 200 years?

[darkart]

Our headmaster is 103 and can still outclass me embarrassingly in a duel.

[pushfall]

That's someone I'd like to meet. Upwards of 200 is crazy when you compare it to, like, 80.

[darkart]

It's something that children coming in from non magical families find surreal, but it's always a delayed reaction in the face of magic at all.

[pushfall]

Do the children who come from non magical families end up living that long, too?

[darkart]

Yes.

[pushfall]

That's a little depressing.

[darkart]

I don't think so. I would like to see my students live for as long as they're able. Most don't. Our population has been halved and halved again by war.

[pushfall]

Has there ever been a time when your world hasn't been at war?

[darkart]

Plenty, if you don't count the times when non magical people have been trying to exterminate us.

[pushfall]

I guess the same could be said for the rest of the world, too.

[darkart]

Aside from colonists.

[pushfall]

This conversation got very off-track.

[darkart]

Longevity bothers you.

[pushfall]

I don't want to watch the people I love die. Sue me.

[darkart]

Because of your healing?
