Alexander blinked at the other, then glanced away, unsure how to take that. So all he did say was “What will happen, will, whatever it is, kill me?” He asked, almost looking like the notion might have been amusing to him. Almost. But there was little that could actually kill a reaper. After all, they had controlled the realm of death. He used to be quieter in life. So now that he was officially a reaper, after going through all the academy training, he now had a new voice. Alexander wonder at times if maybe he used it too much, still. Chewing on the bite of soul, he mulled over this conversation, and how to continue it, why he should, even.

He would not say he had much of an ego. But perhaps he did, in the end. Maybe all his personality traits amounted to the appearance of a great ego. Maybe it wasn't that big of a deal, if he did. It wasn't like he was a particularly nice person to be around, right? Alexander hated going through the academy, sure, being a reaper was nice, it was fun at times. But he had to deal with all of the same nastiness as these livings, if she truly wanted to meet someone with a lot of ego, then he was not the one with an absurd amount of one, certainly. Many of his former classmates at Reaper Academy, had more. He was often jealous, though.

As Elowyn spoke on he sighed, turning his hand to one side, slightly, then closed his fingers into his palm “You think that is frightening to me?” Alexander questioned, again, almost seeming abused, but could not bring himself to be so, any more than a small impression. It was amusing “And, what is this living creature capable of, against death?” When she went on, he glanced away, sighing, then he shook his head “I don't particularly care. I didn't even ask. Life and death come for all of you. That is all.” When she stepped back, he dropped his arm down, taking a few steps to one side of her as she spoke on needing something from one like him, he narrowed his gaze “And, what is that?”

"Your ego is astounding."

Angry & Irritated Sentences, Vol. 17

Turning his attention to one side, glancing them over, before finally turning to face his head toward them, he glared. Alexander dropped his head down, cold dark blue eyes falling over them before he offered a grin to them adjusting his head ever so slightly “You haven't even begun to see my ego yet.” The reaper shifted in his stance, releasing his hold on the body he was holding, letting hit then grumble to the ground as he turned to start walking from it, in his palm now, a freshly harvested soul “If you don't like it, look away.” Alexander then commented before giving a shrug and walking right passed them, twirling his scythe at his side before coming to a stop and biting down on the soul as if it were an apple.

His teeth dug into the strange outside that seemed as if made of gray flames but did not produce heat. Digging deeper into the strange 'fruit', the color of the thing changed drastically, and a hiss came whispering from the insides of it. Chewing into the center, Alexander closed his eyes, as the taste of the soul started to fill his mouth. Still munching on the strange object, pieces of the flames fell onto the ground, also hissing as they disappeared from touching the living realm. As a grim reaper, it was his job to take off souls when their vessel had died. This soul was one of a corrupt man, who had, unfortunately-- Or perhaps very fortunately for those he had hurt in life, had gotten cracked on the head by a falling turtle.

Tearing away a piece from the whole, Alexander looked at them “You know, most of you living's can't even see us.” Tilting his head back, he opened his mouth and dropped the remains of the soul into his mouth. Chewing before continuing to talk “Unless, you're close to death. Hm?” Walking toward them, he reached out his hand, still covered in the juicy flame-like soul fragments.
