singindemonhqThe old operative knew a lot about mourning, one way or the other. That emotion caused some hot numbers, but usually when those energies built up that strong it was more the D’Hoffryn’s business than his. Humans often felt guilty when someone died and most of them were great at finding scapegoats when that happened. After that it could be up to the Vengeance types and then things got a lot too bloody for the operative’s taste.
He's all about truth, that's the point – and the truth was that there's no real sense in prolonged mourning, not for him. He’s left too much behind during a long, eventful life. Nobody gets everything his own way, and there’s no sense in wasting the second half of your life grieving over what happened in the first half.
It’d given him pause when he saw mourning described as self-pity, though; humans are strange about that, sometimes; they critise it. He knows better. Better to pity yourself than to blame yourself, hate yourself or despise yourself. If you can’t live with yourself you sure as Hell can’t live with other people.
