She seemed appropriately taken aback by this and Cathun stretched himself up a bit, encouraged despite himself that it really was something to be seriously troubled by. It just wasn't the same to complain before people who shrugged as if it was an every day matter to have a deadly curse placed on you, fixed in a cinch and nothing to whine about.
"Well, I had my second birthday this summer..." he said in a nonchalant way, trailing off to emphasize how time was running away from him. Just talking about it was enough to make him realize himself just how little there was left, however, and the haughty satisfaction slipped off him rather quickly as he mulled it over. Less than two years. That wasn't even the amount of time he had lived so far, and what had he accomplished in that time? Killed his mother and half the citizens of his homeland, been locked up in a temple for what should have been the rest of his miserable existence. He'd been saved from that fate by his father just in the nick of time, then sent here once the protective charm started to fail. But none of that was good or grand or glorious, nothing of it was worth remembering or passing on to generations after him. In all honesty, the likelihood that he himself would pass on anything at all was growing slimmer by the day, and he remained as clueless as ever when it came to stopping it.
He sighed, nodding wearily as the girl confirmed what he had suspected all along. She knew nothing either. It had been a feeble hope, but somehow it hurt to have even that taken away...
"Oh! I have an idea!"
"What?" he asked, chancing a sideways glance at the excited tone. The last glimmer of that fading hope remained, quivering like a note of music in his heart, but even as she began to explain Cathun felt the tone sour and disappear, ruined by his own hardening features and the ears that flattened back against the poll.
"I aint going nowhere near any hoof-licking know-it-all priests!" he hissed harshly, stopping dead in his tracks as he glared at Ranjiri. "Didn't you hear me? I won't ask any gods for anything! "
