[ Oh, Hwylryn. There's another version of this story where he and Hickey are able to see eye to eye on the matter of Junior—and their unique brands of insanity.
But this is not that version. Hickey grins, curious. ]
I'll take whatever luck I can get. What did you have in mind?
( He smiles in a particular way. It's a little sharper than his usual, but not unfriendly. )
Do you have tales about sea creatures, where you're from? Mermaids, dragons, selkies . . . things about how taking in their flesh grants immortal life?
( thinks about what he's wearing. probably a loose night robe over a long slip, as usual.
He brings his palm up to his neck and drags the robe further open, better exposing the flesh. There are safer places to present, but Hwylryn isn't exactly a coward. )
Did you want to try it?
( "Try," he says, as if he were offering him some unusual delicacy - not that he isn't, he supposes. )

Some, yes, though I'm not very familiar myself. What are you suggesting, exactly?
