Ah.

Yes.

The whole 800 years sure explains a lot to Inigo about the other guy's faint excentricity. After all, living that long is bound to make anyone act very different than the people around them - it's something Inigo has witnessed in person before, so it's like a final puzzle piece that's completing his mental puzzle of the other here, making it all make sense.

It's why Inigo doesn't look surprised about this reveal at all. Instead he just calmly nods.

"So that's why." Great, that's one mystery solved. Though Xie Lian did just present a different one entirely. "What is this 'heavenly city' though? Is it some sort of afterlife in your world?"

Hey, it does involve the word heaven. And while heaven isn't as much of a concept in Inigo's world, he's learned it's an afterlife sort of thing in other ones.
