Eikarr feels a bit stunned that the words fall so easily from Molly's lips, though he's not entirely sure he agrees with the sentiment. He'd been so fucking scared when he'd felt his life slipping away from his body, the absolutely frustrating sense of helplesness he'd felt when he couldn't do anything for his friends...
He takes a deep breath, reminds himself that he's no longer in the Rose Castle, and gently shakes himself out of it.
"I only wish I had your outlook on it. I'm 'fraid I'm still terrified about the concept of my own mortality," he says with a grin, trying to make himself look lighter than he feels.
"And, yeah. It's a looooong story," he says, flopping back onto the mattress. "The Short version is I agreed to carry a bit of my patron with me back to the Material Plane, to sew the seeds of her power. In return, she'd let my friends go. Took a bit of my soul and put some of her power back in, so I couldn't go back on my word."
