"Ah, I'm so glad I can regenerate, otherwise I'd be covered in bruises. No pain no gain, right?" Faye has taken up an empty couch today, after finally getting some time to herself after her training session.
"Ah, kind of an unrelated question, but... If you were immortal, or had a really long lifespan, how would you spend it?"

"Hmm... bein' immortal... dat's a tough one, yah..." Jin'dar sinks into a comfy semi-crouch, one finger scratching a few random sigils in the dirt at his feet, before the troll frowned a bit and wiped them out. A habit of his when pondering things, it would seem.
"Well, dey say ya nevah really stop learnin'... mebbe I try ta be furtherin' me magical studies. Probably nevah gonna be good as Medivh - dat mon was born wit' magic in de blood - but I t'ink mebbe in time enough I'd be wise enough in de arcane ta get a bit o' notice in me own right not far off from de kinda fame an' rev'rence dat he got."

Those few sigils draw out a little curiosity in Faye, who sits up a little more.
"They're right, for the most part. I would think the little advantage of living forever might give you more than enough time to catch up. Maybe train in fighting skills too."

"Fightin'? Yah, mebbe, mebbe dat would work, too... well, mebbe not in Azeroth, but othah places. De way my world's magic goes, it takes a lot o' focus an' intellect'al trainin' ta use magic, an' it's kinda hard ta keep dat kinda focus of de mind if ya spent too much time focusin' on ya body. It be a kinda balance, y'see. Ya kin be strong an' tough, carryin' round heavy plate armor an' swords an' such, or ya can have de agile mind and concentration ta cast pow'rful spells, but not bot' of dem at once."
A pause, as one of her earlier words comes back to mind. He picks at the tip of one tusk in thought.
"What was dat t'ing ya said jus' now... 'vampire'? Nevah heard o' dem kinda t'ings where I be from."

Now, she doesn't mind explaining at all. "We're a type of undead that happens to feed on the blood of sapient life. Sure, I could feed on animals, but that isn't as effective."
A pause. Yep, non-evil vampire, here. "I probably should mention that it doesn't have to be in fatal amounts."

"Hmm, something tells me that I might do a bit of meddling myself." Learning and travelling is going to be pretty much a given for her too.

"I believe I may have already answered this question before, but I would seek out new venues to enrichen the mind."

"Ah, actually, you did already answer it." It was more directed at mortals who she's not quite familiar with, but never-mind.

"Ah, I understand. You sought answers from others you hadn't met before then?"
Reply
"Yes, that's right. Well, them and mortal friends I haven't asked this particular question."

"Hmm... can you regenerate?" Hey, this is the Nexus, after all.

"My brothers are the only ones who can actually injure me, and as they haven't had cause, I honestly wouldn't know. I assume I can, given the tales of other universes."
