[A SIGH... But he'll sit back on his heels after Anaido winces, carefully pulling his hands away. He reaches for his arm next, so he can check his pulse at the wrist, chatting while he does.]
Taako thinks it was left like this as a reminder. What do you think of that? It might be a clue as to how reality works in this particular world, but it might just be a spiteful warning or snide reminder, true enough.
[He offers his arm happily. His heart beats, like a normal person's heart ought to.]
A reminder? [He muses on that, for a moment.] Mm, perhaps. I think it hints that death in this place works very differently than we expect. The fact my scar is old...perhaps there's something like time dilation, or there are versions of ourselves who can die, and get replaced...
[HM.]
Though, you're right. Could just be a spiteful warning from our snake.

[He allows Wei Wuxian to tap at it, though he winces when he does.]
Not really...its still sore, which makes sense since it just happened a couple of days ago, but...I don't understand how it healed over so quick.

An interesting theory... [It is one he's not very fond of, but he's not very fond of most of the things that happen in these games. C'est la vie!!]
Best not to discount any possibility this early on, hm? When we know so little about this world and its workings. --Your pulse is lovely, by the way!
[Good work on not being dead, Anaido.]

[He actually smiles brightly at that - he never expected his pulse to be something to be complimented.]
I'm sure yours is nice, too!

Why, thank you! I'd like to think it does well for itself.
