He shrugged. "I will only know when the future arrives. But I agree with your sentiment. Goodbye is..."
His voice trailed off for a moment and he shook his head. "Goodbye is too sad. I have never liked parting. But I find it easier when there is a promise to return. So I promise to you, my friend. And," he managed a smile, even, "If I can find a way to improve your life span, I will share. Though I would not to anger Cosmos and her Cauldron too much. But the offer is the same to you. As friends. You must tell me if there is ever something I can do for you as well. Is this fair?"
