@never-surrender continued from here.

He expected her to just sit back and take it then? To accept his inevitable decline in sanity the longer he lived as a lich? Oh no. No no no. "You really expect me to do nothing about this?" she held up the scroll she had snagged on liches, her curious nature having certainly come around to bite her in the ass in this instance.

"There are things we can do, things that I can do to save you from insanity... if you think that I'm not going to do them, you're wrong." it was quite the sight to see her standing up for herself, to see her standing up against him when he spoke to her as plainly as he did.

Tareque looked at her as if she were spouting a foreign language to him. After the research he had done throughout his years, if certainly felt like she was.

"Do you think it is not something I have read into?" He asked the question, almost wryly. "It is inevitable," he accepted with a slight shrug. "This is a curse, not a gift, by technicality. Eventually it drives away the desire for all bodily necessity and we become a demilich." ... Or a hunter would find and destroy his phylactery. That was more likely, given the impulsive and hungering tendencies that eventually fueled a lich's actions.

He waved a hand somewhat dismissively. "That is further in the future than I can imagine, though. Love, I am practically a youth on that pathline. I hardly see it as something to worry about, yet."
