[ nick has never particularly seen the appeal behind wanting to live forever anyway, and from the way that theo describes it, this sounds like a particularly grim way to do it. maybe nick is just being too bleak about it, maybe multiple lives is actually great, but...he doesn't think so.
he takes another drag, a long one, held for a while before he exhales again, and once the smoke has dissipated a little he looks at theo, a wry sort of a smile on his face. ]
I'm sorry. It sounds...like a really fucking raw deal you've got.
[The way Theo replies is - that kind of reply that stamps down his own resentment, under the guise of 'what do I have to complain about, really?' that pairs so well with attempting to keep other people from feeling sorry for him. Or worse, for commiserating enough that they both get down about it. He shrugs his shoulders, murmuring a soft 'C'est la vie'.]
This is the first life I've been able to be so close to other witches, though. It's a nice change.
