I don't give a shit about dying nobly. That's stupid. What I give a shit about is the people who are getting their souls burned out of their bodies.

[wizzardly]

I mean I'm not going to argue and say I approve of that sort of thing either.

It's more that I especially disapprove when said person being burned is me.

[jacksonian]

It won't be you. People like that, they want bodies that are tall and good-looking to take over.

[ Sorry, Rincewind. ]

[wizzardly]

Finally, an advantage.

Now if I just make sure my body's also "absent" I can avoid being the target for pain, death, or a magic mark again too.

[jacksonian]

I hope you can. I hope you do. I don't want anything bad to happen to you.

[wizzardly]

Well

[well what? Well that's a kind, doomed thought which is no less surprisingly, incredibly kind for being doomed?]

that goes for you too you know. You're one of the only sensible friends I've got here, I'm not eager to lose you to an ash bin.

[jacksonian]

[ A slight hesitation, then: ]

Yeah, and likewise. You're one of the only sensible friends I have, too.

[ He thinks. What is a friend even. ]

If it helps, I don't have any intention of getting thrown in any ash bins. I'm angry, not suicidal.

[ He's not Miles, after all. ]
