[The man was not wrong, he has seen more of the world than he thought to, and even more now after he's left his companions when they all fled Kirkwall. He's lived more of a life since them than he would have ever before.
The silence is heavy and thick but he waits it out, gives Astarion the time he needs to piece things together, to feel out what he is going to say. What he does say is shocking.
The man has died? He was clearly alive again, was it by magic? Or another foul reason like possession? He feels himself tense, trying to decern how the man can be here in front of him when he claims to have died.]
I cannot imagine it is something easily forgotten.
[Or was it a metaphorical death like when he got these markings and forgot everything of who he was, reborn from maddening pain.]
WOO Spoilers!
