"Where were you, anyway?"
"Back in the Peaceful Realms, with Mattes." Sabine smiled, remembering. "Goddess, was it really three months? It was wonderful." She caught sight of the look on Kel's face. "What? Time passes differently when you're dead."
"It's cheerful to know that three months of my life means nothing to you," Kel grumbled. "I'll be dead before you know it."
"And then you can join us in the Realms of the Dead." Sabine smiled brightly at her.
Kel sighed. "Not helping." She looked at Sabine and saw the look of glee on her face. "Definitely not helping."
"I can't help it!" Sabine insisted. "I'm just happy you missed me, that's all."
