"Boring?" Casey startled, looking up at Gabriel in surprise. If Gabriel thought his talking had been boring, had he thought the invitation in the first place was simply something to appease him rather than Casey's own interests? "No, it was great, I promise. History fascinates me, just how much people can go through and what different times can do to our creative output. Just think, the same genius could be born in a different time and their art would probably be completely different."

It was a common thought of Casey's. What would life be like in another time, another place, somewhere different. Would they be the same person or was their life shaped by their experiences instead? Hard to say and one they could never really find a satisfying conclusion for. Of course, there were plenty of theories and studies on the idea of souls recycling throughout time but the only real conclusion anyone could come to was that it was a mystery. No magic or science existed that could identify one soul from another so specifically and the sheer magnitude of such an experiment made it no more than a theological brainteaser for any but the most avid researcher. Or a dragon. Not that Casey looked too far into the study, really, they had merely looked up the public opinion one such thoughts once and that was all they really needed to decide it was better left for idle daydreams.

"Regardless," they said after a moment of drifting through their thoughts and almost losing track of the conversation. "Um. Regardless... you told me a lot of new things today, and I like that. I've always liked that place but now it's even better."
