"yeah, I know." he sighed.

*Talya groaned at her fussing priestesses, suddenly whirling around to look at them rather angrily.* "If you don't leave me alone for five minutes, I won't finish the ritual at all! I know my duty, you don't have to remind me of it every single second! Go back to where we left off and wait for me! Quietly!" *The women looked more than a little shocked, since it was rare for Talya to raise her voice or behave in a cross manner. Reluctantly, they walked away, shooting her wary glances as she turned back around to face Thanos.* "I can't believe this... I've never even seen the avatars before and the one day I get out of this place, I spend my entire day with not just any avatar, but the avatar of death..."

"and my day with the one of life. You cast a shadow over me, who knows how large..."

"I cast a shadow over you? What on earth makes you say that?" *Talya frowned at him.*

"you're life, I'm death. Not only do you always precede me, but people love you, they love what you do. I'm hated by almost everyone save for people seeking my help, but they don't last long." he rolled his eyes.

*Talya lowered her gaze, a little ashamed for having fallen into that mentality as well.* "You mean... you don't enjoy what you do...?"

"Why would I enjoy it? no one ever comes to see who I am, everyone avoids me, all I do is hurt people almost every time I touch them if I don't have complete control. I'm stuck in a temple made of cold stone, that's dark and dank. The only company I have being rats, skeletons and my keepers who only care if I'm there or not. But I can't do anything about it. Occasionally, someone who's really suffering comes in, begging for it to end, so I let them die. And that's all I ever do, that's the closest I ever get to doing anything worthwhile."

*Talya's expression softened considerably, reaching out and gently taking Thanos' hand...* "I'm sorry... I didn't think you would feel that way... when I realized who you were... I thought that maybe you'd been deceiving me all day... that you might be cruel and harmful somehow... It was stupid of me to think such a thing... I'm really sorry..."

"why would you think I was deceiving you? that I was harmful? all I did was walk with you around the market."

"I thought that maybe you were using me for something or just messing with me... It's just... I got rather upset when I realized what you are... That shouldn't have tainted my perception of who you are though... You aren't any less a good man than when we met..."

"But I'm the main reason you have so much work. I make people sick, and hurt, but it has to happen... life has to have those difficulties."

"I know... I understand... It's just hard for me to see people suffering. Every day I watch them pour in, hurting in all sorts of ways and begging me to make it all better... but it's a necessary part of life. And those who don't reach me in time have to die... everyone has to die."

"eventually. though I'm not really needed for that, I just make it happen quicker, everything can die on their own."

"And everything can heal and live on its own too... I just make it happen quicker..." *Talya sighed softly, glancing over her shoulder at her anxious priestesses.*

"you should probably get back to what you were doing, and I have to get back home."
