[Geir lets out an enormous sigh - Dirk can quite literally feel it in the air all around them, since he's sitting in a cave made of Geir's wing and side.]
I'm sorry your friends died. I never, um-- everyone was supposed to die in Ragnarok, too. So I never thought about that being bad till just lately. But I know that people dying can hurt.
[it's an incredibly awkward expression of sympathy, but heartfelt. Geir's only recently been introduced to people dying not being the end goal, but all he needs to do is consider what he'd feel like if Vern died to believe in "avoid people you know dying" fervently as a concept. Death Is Bad is a clearly delineated if badly articulated point of understanding for him now.]
