TMIT: Have Leon and Val ever spoken about lifespans and how it may affect them?
oh boy that is something they have definitely given a great deal of thought to. They've had a few conversations on this topic, though they haven't gotten anywhere in particular beyond making both of them deeply sad.
Leon is painfully aware of the fact that of his entire family, he's the one that is most likely to go first--Kaewynn is effectively immortal, Pin ... probably is because of Odyn they're not 100% sure, and Valarin is an elf.
To that effect, he asked Celedyn to do one thing as his best man besides standard best man stuff: take care of Valarin, make sure he continues to feel loved, and keep him from regressing once he's gone.
The thing he sent to Celedyn in this story might also be related to that topic. Maybe. Perhaps.
