[ Essek regards her quietly a moment. He has no answers, only guesses that aren't his place to make. ]
I think perhaps the only way to find out for sure is simply to ask him.
In the Dynasty, those within Kryn society who are consecuted are able to live many lifetimes. Some remain partners eternally, returning to one another lifetime after lifetime. But just as many separate and find new lovers. Sometimes things simply are different enough, from one lifetime to the next. Perhaps there is something to the cycle of life and death that more profoundly changes some more than it does others.
At the very least...I think it is only fair to both of you to have an understanding of what happens next for you.
[she draws up a bit more at that. it makes her heart ache to think about but she doesn't want to cry in front of Essek anymore, so she just makes herself small, chews on her lip]
Yeah, you're...you're probably right, I should just talk to him about it. Thanks, Essek.
