(Video; UN: makemelaugh) CW: Talk of coffins/bodies.

[undertook]

What an interesting set of circumstances! I thought it would be at least another century or two before I saw a place like this~ (No, longer. Maybe he was never meant to see or be in a place so advanced? Ah well, beggars can't be choosers!

He runs his fingers through his silver hair, revealing, for a moment, a green phosphorescent eye.)

Do entertain me. I love a good show! (All of the struggling and complaints are just signs of vibrant, stubborn life, in his opinion.) You may call me Undertaker - and, yes, I am more than happy to provide those services should they be needed. They're not easy, you know. The coffin has to fit just right. You don't want the body rolling about and giving someone a fright!

Perhaps, perhaps~! (He has no trouble seeing that Xiao isn't human. His eyes don't lie; they can't.) Only for awhile? I can wait.

(For now, he has some cookies and a comfortable seat. The topics he has introduced are hardly the sort to make most hungry, but he's...ah...special.)

What about you? Will I get along with you?

You may find yourself waiting for some time. I don't know how they handle their dead here but you could always ask around if you're impatient.

[ That stops him short, blinking amber eyes a couple times before he sighed a bit. ]

That depends on what you say and do. It's too early to say if we will or not.

[ He likes a funeral director's sense of humor so it's likely Undertaker's will not bug him too much. ]

Impatience doesn't suit me. I'll either be blessed with some work to my liking or not~!

(He is gonna miss making coffins. His are such beauties and never admired!)

Heehee what if I take a real liking to ye and try to fit you in a coffin? Some people get offended by that.

(And he will never understand why!)

I suppose that's one way to look at it. At least you're honest.

[ Xiao paused a bit because okay, that was weird but then again, this was not the run of the mill mortal. Hell, he was sure this man was an immortal of some kind. Probably. ]

I'm not intending to die for a while, so it isn't something that bothers me if you really wish to do something like that. [ His tone is serious, too. ] Just know I am not responsible for any damages if you try to bury it with me in it.

(The giggling continues and he stretches out his legs, resting his booted feet on a footstool.)

Humans might enjoy their lies. I don't.

(A green eye, glowing, peers through silver bangs.)

Struggle! Struggle as long as ye like. It's better that way. (He snorts to himself and taps a long black nail against his cheek.) I never bury what's alive. That would be wrong an' I like seein' life flourish~

Good. Not many people see things that way, unfortunately.

[ Ah. There it was. Proof that the other man wasn't human. How intriguing. ]

You have morals in that sense, at least. [ Xiao nodded his head, looking a bit thoughtful. ] Long as you give the dead the respect they deserve once they pass on, I have no qualms with how you do it.

[ Oh he's been alive so, SO long that he's seen many humans die. Some by his hand in the past and he's still haunted by it today. ]

(He's not really bothering to hide it anymore. Not here, at least.)

People are...silly. They waste time when they should be hurrying forward.

(The clock is always ticking, isn't it? Lies get in the way and delay the truth. Which can lead to intriguing outcomes, but he doesn't like lies interfering with his work.)

My guests are treated with naught but respect! I dress them pretty and I've never had a complaint.

Agreed.

[ Too often people tended to dwell on the past and he thought it was ridiculous, to say the least. Sure he was plagued by sins from his own past but it was unavoidable, but something he could handle as he didn't share a short lifespan like mortals did. ]

Good. Then to answer your earlier question? [ Xiao nodded his head quietly. ] I think we may get along just fine.

What good news! (Truth be told, Undertaker exists, making contact here and there, but he knows better than to make anything too lasting.) Perhaps we could have a spot o' tea together?

[baneofallevil]

I would not be against it. Simply contact me at your discretion, name a time and place and I would join you.

[ Meaning he's generally free. Unless work has him busy and even then, he can make time when possible. ]
