( he lapses into a thoughtful silence, reaching for a carrot stick as he does. one unhealthy dollop of dressing later, and he says: )
I've never really tried to explain it to anyone that I remember offhand, so this is probably gonna come out clumsy as shit for the record. But — it's... imagine a 4D space folded flat — and I say 4D in the sense of the 4th dimension being time — and then plotting a chart from me to the thing, or vice versa. I have to do a shitload of calculations on the fly to make it work, otherwise I will embed myself in a wall somewhere or, I don't know, drop a wet shoe in your salad.
( promise, threat? it is hard to say with him. the carrot gets crunched, firmly and deliberately. )
It's not tied to my immortality directly in the sense that one requires the other. It was kinda just the full meal deal when I got godified.
