"All of the difficulties make us cherish the moments, when we have been happy and content," Osprey mused out loud, trying to imagine herself being an immortal being. Living with the knowledge that you would continue to exist before and after several lifetimes of others. What would it be like to be 1000 years old? Depressing? Interesting? Boring? With all the life experience one could get in those years - would she view her life differently? It was hard to tell. Yet one idea did occur to her right at the moment, when Mordecai tossed the question back at her.
"I think it would make life kind of pointless," she admitted. "I mean - knowing that we will all die at some point in life... gives motivation to do more, enjoy thoroughly every single moment of the present time," she said, eyeing her companion with the corner of her eyes. "I want to leave a mark on this world before I die. Do something important. Don't you think that's the whole point of death? Realizing, how very precious is the time that we have got?"
