"And you won't," Thanatos replies as if it is an obvious fact. "Mortals are fragile. Gods are harder to kill." (And could Death actually die?)

There's little room for argument because there isn't any in Thanatos's mind. He's all too familiar with mortals dying through his work as a psychopomp for the House of Hades and as Death Incarnate.

"Your concern is unnecessary. I have encountered worse."
