Dyon was stunned. Although he was happy, he had very mixed feelings about this.
On one hand, it was great that his friend could spend as long as he wanted by his loved ones. On the other hand, he understood Eli's character. It would eat him up inside if he couldn't be of use, especially when his wife was out fighting battles for him. To someone like Eli, the fact the universe was protecting him should mean that he should be the one protecting everyone else.
'He'll be disappointed…' Dyon said in a soft voice.
'A man who can't die until he does of natural causes would be disappointed in such a thing?' The old man, who was near the end of his life, couldn't understand such a thing.
Someone could walk up and slice Eli in half and the universe would just mend him back together as though nothing happened. In fact, it would probably make it so Eli felt minimal amount of pain too.
