video; what's an ulterior motive?
[Zeno takes a bite of a juicy golden-yellow apple.]
Gods are so high-maintenance, right? Anyone who got some of the alcohol from Zeno at the firefly picnic, please accept this apology! Zeno was only trying to bear cups and properly embody Hebe, but it didn't work out so well!
[Another, smaller bite. He has to wipe some fruit juice off his face with his sleeve.]
Hebe should be serving nectar, though. Or ambrosia? Some things Zeno reads say nectar is the drink of the gods that makes them immortal, and some say ambrosia is the food, and others say the opposite. Zeno has been looking for ambrosia and nectar for a while now!
Moreso lately. Given some recent events, immortality might be a useful thing to have for shinki as well as gods.
[He quickly takes another, bigger bite of his apple, in order to disguise his distaste for that sentiment. Immortality isn't something to play around with-- just like mortality isn't something to take advantage of.]
Who'd think being dead can't stop you from being killed? [That, that he allows himself to visibly react to. Mostly in a look of disgust and a tone of utter disdain for the murderer.]
The way to obtain immortality is by ingesting something, it seems. Ambrosia and nectar, the elixir of life, amrit, dragon blood, golden apples... so very high-maintenance!
[A bigger, more involved bite of his delicious yellow apple.]
What does everyone think? Is searching for the source of immortality worth it while we try to stop this person? [His voice sounds a little more serious, now.] If the gods who used them exist, surely they must, too-- but is immortality worth the trouble? Is it even the right thing to do?

Th-there's a similar story where I'm from. ( She isn't going to share it publicly but, ) It's a l-little differet, though. The ones who gained the d-dragon's blood didn't become immortal. ( Still thinking, ) U-unless it's metaphorical s-since the family lines are still around.
Um, either way...
( Moving on! )
I wouldn't a-advice consuming things you don't know. It could be d-dangerous.

[He smiles at her warning. It is wasted on him, but she doesn't need to know that.]
Mm, probably! Zeno doesn't make a habit of it. [Little white lie.]
It's all for nothing, anyway. There's no dragons here to offer the blood, nor trees with golden apples. It's most probably impossible.
no subject
But uhm... instead o-of looking for immortality w-wouldn7t it be easier to... address the things that want to harm you?
no subject
Can't find him! Cowardly murderers don't generally make themselves known!
[He shrugs.]
Anyway, Zeno is more concerned about others who aren't aware of this person...
no subject
I-I beg your pardon?! ( Guess who doesn't know??? ) I'm sorry b-but I don't think I know... w-what you're talking about...
no subject
[What a dilemma... she ought to be informed but he doesn't want to scare her.]
Some things like that can't be addressed. Can't control other people's actions, even if you are a god.
