[Michael listens quietly, sitting back to lean against the nearest shelf, chewing on the inside of his cheek. It sounds bad. It sounds bad, and so does Lion. 

Something cold and wet forces its way up the back of his throat, and he coughs once into the back of his hand before swallowing it back down. Vile human body; it still does unexpected things sometimes. It's vulnerable in ways he wouldn't be.]


I don't mean to suggest anything right now...

[He says, soft and careful, because he sort of does. But he knows how this could sound. Discarding a vessel isn't much to his kind; it's a little paperwork, a slight hassle, no worse than moving from one hotel room to the next. And if your current room was infested with bedbugs, say, wouldn't it be better in the long run to just move right away? Not suffer along until it became truly uninhabitable?

To a human, though, the death of the body is - it's everything. Besides, Michael doesn't quite know the mechanics of it here. There's no way it's the same as swapping bodies in the afterlife. Will mentioned having to do it before. Was it bad then?]


...but what's the worst that might happen if he died right now?
