I have no intention of finding it. You're free to do whatever you want.

[To Kel'thuzad:]

Where are you?

[Public; there's the faint sound of a guitar being tuned in the background.]

How do you acquire one of these flower pistols? Besides killing one of them and taking it, I mean.

Please don't do that. This port is... difficult enough.

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

You were already a Death Knight, you should be able to handle this fine.

I thought you would like the idea of the flower gun. It's a weapon that can't hurt the living.

[Private]

[bybloodandhonor]

I didn't realize, I didn't have to think about being dead because I didn't care as a death knight! And there was no emptiness, no void where- [He cuts himself off, trying to calm down. Did you really have to bring up being a death knight, Arthas?]

There was always something - be it the Light or the Lich King or that power, but right now there is nothing. No Light. Not even my own heartbeat.

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

Port will end.

[Private]

[bybloodandhonor]

[Snap.]

No really? I never would have guessed that port would end! Just like I never would have guessed that you still lack even an ounce of sympathy or compassion!

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

...It can't be that bad.

[Private]

Light above, you haven't had to breath in so long, you haven't had a heart that beats in years... You just don't notice it as a death knight when you're controlled so deep. Because you don't care that you're dead.

Right now, there's just... nothing in my chest. No heart beat. No breath. No Light.

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

[Arthas is... conflicted, and it shows on his face.]

I... care.

[It's a lie and he knows it.]

[Private]

[bybloodandhonor]

[Curious.] Do you?

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

Yes.

[Private]

[bybloodandhonor]

What do you miss about being alive?

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

It's... none of your business.

[Private]

[bybloodandhonor]

Breathing in fresh morning air? Or perhaps enjoying warmth of the sun on a summer day? Feeling your blood pound in your veins during a battle?

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

[Calm:] I miss Jaina.

[Private]

[bybloodandhonor]

Anything else you miss?

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

Of course there is.
