I ignored him and continued with my thoughts. "I know it annoys you when I question what you see in me, but I still have to wonder what you're thinking. I'm human, you aren't. And yet you appear to be romancing me pretty seriously. You and I so far seem to have much in common, but to what end could there be for us to explore this?"
He turned me around and looked down at me. I didn't like looking up so I levitated until we were eye to eye. I faltered at first because being over water made it a lot harder, but I'd used a boat to balance against before, and this was a big boat, so I managed.
"As you've just demonstrated, you're more than human."
"I'll still die sometime in the next thirty or forty years, if not before.
There's no reason to believe my metaphysical abilities will lengthen my life."
