You must be one of those "higher plane of existence" type of immortals, then. Which makes sense I guess, Red Son is a little bit the same, meditation and spirituality and all. [ But on the other hand his demonic instincts which are sort of like Saya's. The perfect combination of his parents from what she knows of them. ] I'm the opposite. Like a wild animal, running on instinct.
My need for companionship is pretty definitively tied to my my hibernation and other mechanics of my species. If I couldn't form bonds quickly I wouldn't thrive when I wake up, and since my species has no natural males we have to make our mates from humans. The need for constant affection drives that instinct.
--But I don't do that anymore. Turning people always horrified me.
[ She deflates ever so slightly, but doesn't seem all that surprised. She's never met anyone else who hibernates as she does. ] My hibernation is cyclical. I get a few months awake, maybe a year, then I sleep for a few decades. Somewhere between thirty and fifty years is the best I've been able to nail down. Sleeping for that long gives me complete amnesia, which is why I don't know many of the details. Hence the instinct to form bonds, I'm sort of a mess when I wake up. [ You'll see in 10 days! ] I don't even know how to feed myself.
