Miss Vie, it's on deck thirteen! All the flowers! It smells nice but there're invisible polka-dot lions so be real careful unless you're a troll.

Hey um...how long until my brother and my mom get here? 'Cause it's really fun not having a bedtime and not eating gross food, but I really miss them and I bet they're really worried about me by now.

There is no set time to expect your family here. This place acts outside of its passengers' desire.

[audio]

[littlelegend]

Oh...

So it might be a long time? Like...weeks and stuff?

[audio]

[powerofgod]

Yes.

[audio]

[littlelegend]

Oh.

[There's a pause.]

Mr. Godric? Do you miss your mom ever?

[audio]

[powerofgod]

[why is the teacup human asking him about mothers of all things.]

I remember very little of my mother.

[audio]

[littlelegend]

Oh.

[Another pause.]

...did she go to heaven when you were little?

[audio]

[powerofgod]

Heaven did not exist, in the Christian sense, when I was young.

Though I can't say, one way or another. I did not see her after my sixteenth year.

[audio]

[littlelegend]

There wasn't any heaven? Where did the good people go when they died?

[audio]

[powerofgod]

Into the ground.

[By his tone, he's not actually trying to be abrupt. But the afterlife of his people is a belief long laid to rest.]

[audio]

[littlelegend]

Oh...that doesn't sound very nice at all.

...what about your daddy? Do you miss him?

[audio]

[powerofgod]

My people were buried well.

[The more powerful ones, anyways. Gaulic burial rights generally saw them laid to rest in burial mounds with their earthly possessions]

I have not seen my father in equally long.

[audio]

[littlelegend]

[How HORRIBLE]

What about brothers? Did you have any brothers? O-or sisters? Or best friends?

[audio]

[powerofgod]

I had numerous siblings.

[He pauses, and continues in a more measured tone. Which is saying a lot, because he rarely deviates from its like.]

I am over two thousand years old. Such things are many years past, for me.

[audio]

[littlelegend]

T-two thousand-!?

Wow! Wow! Mr. Godric, you're really old! I never met anybody as old as you are, and you don't sound old at all!

[audio]

[powerofgod]

[Sigh. Teacup humans.]

Do you know what a vampire is, Goten?

[audio]

[littlelegend]

Ummm yeah! I heard about them in scary stories. They drink blood, right?
