"Uh..erm...well it's just that--" Gaven found his voice faltering out of nervousness as Reiko approached him. To him she had the body of a goddess, and each step she took made him one step closer to being in contact with it. Gaven had to force himself to look away in order to focus on what he was trying to say.<br/>"Not to be rude or anything, but immortality--in my opinion--is more of a curse. You may live forever, but you can't stop pain. If you were to be captured--heaven forbid--they could torture you for information. They could use any excruciating method they saw fit. You would wish for death, but it wouldn't come. It's not just bound to physical pain either. There's emotional stress as well as you watch friends and loved ones grow older with each passing year until they eventually leave your life forever. Then there's the more trivial stuff such as boredom. What will you be doing with your life a century from now or even a million years from now? Eventually things do grow tiresome. I'm sorry for raining on your parade. I just thought I should at least inform you of the drawbacks. You're still welcome to wish for immortality if you wish, I won't hold it against you."<br/>Gaven found himself wishing that he would shut up instead of talking for as long as he did. He thought that Reiko probably viewed him as a complete nerd or motor-mouth, whatever hopes he had in being her boyfriend were now dashed to pieces.
