Me too. I think the part that Johan can relate to is doing a shit job with no appreciation. He's been there. He hates it. So he doesn't want to do that to anyone else. And it just made him a new friend, although Johan probably doesn't realize it yet.
>>My one fear, when it comes to death, is that I will be alone. The idea of someone to help me to the other side is a great comfort.<<
*hugs* Everybody gets an escort. Some people are stubborn and refuse to have anything to do with theirs, so it can get complicated, but that's the ideal anyhow. People with a soft spot for Death in any form? Tend to get a personal visit. When you've only got like three friends on the planet and one of them calls to be picked up after the party, you go pick 'em up.
I'll have to keep an eye out for this particular death god. He seems to be the cool, slightly macabre, dry humor type ... but still capable of recognizing a kindred spirit and being gentle with the new healer too. Pretty good fit with Johan. Althey is going to take a while to come around.
