Ah, well, I've heard humans only live a tiny amount of time. [Padparadscha's been doing what reading they can on the species here since they arrived. They'd always suspected humans were like other living things, with their fleeting existences, and now they know it for sure.
Padparadscha considers before answering that question - they've let it slip before, and they don't seem to be the only person here beyond what's considered a "normal" age, so it shouldn't be a harmful thing to say.]
Gems don't "die" like living things do. We can be destroyed utterly, but if we're pieced back together, we live again. So there's no limit to how old we can be.
