*Chuckles*
Funny, that's just the thing I'd expect only Planeswalkers to say.
*He turns around and looks at Elfhame for a moment, then hands him the scrolls*
These please.

"You pick something up when you've met a few."
He casts a quick look over the scrolls.
"That will be 30 gp, then, please."

Oh, have you? That must be very interesting.
*He takes a small purse out of his pocket and only just makes the amount, the last seven or eight GP puzzled together with silver and bronze pieces*

"Suppose so. You learn a few things."
He takes the coins, counting them very quickly, then hands a silver one back.
"One too many."

Such as? I'm curious. What does one learn from Planeswalkers, if they're not all that special as everybody thinks?
*Smiles and puts the silver coin back*
Thank you for your honesty. I don't see a lot of that.

"Some lessons that are important to remember when you live long. Like me, as an elf."
He shrugs at his comment.

Ah, I see. Nothing that could profit me then, as a short-lived human, hm?
*He puts the scrolls in an inside pocket of his coat*

"I don't know. It has to do with that precisely."

Well, try me. What kind of lessons would benefit an Elf with your lifespan?

"It benefits people who fear death, I think. Everything dies. Planeswalkers, gods - even death. The end might come tomorow, or today. If you live on the edge, sometimes it can be comforting to know and accept that."

*Smiles*
Yet many humans take comfort in the idea that death is not the end. All things may die- but nothing ever truly ends. Death is not the end, just as birth is not the beginning. Ah, but what do I know. I have neither your lifespan nor your powers.

"Yes, death is not the end. But even souls might die someday, crushed by power. Another lesson I learned. Even afterlife doesn't have to be eternal."
He paused for a moment, looking at him.
"You mean you bought those spells for someone else? Because I was under the impression that you are a mage, just like me."

No, perhaps not. But what is there after that? There is always something beyond.
Oh, I'm not a mage like you. Not at all.

"I'm afraid I don't share your opinion. After your soul is gone, there is nothing left. I don't think there is something after that. Pity the few unlucky ones that that has happened to."

Ah well. Just goes to show how little I know about the nature of the multiverse. I'd make a horrible Planeswalker. It's been very nice talking to you.
