I will always be grateful to him for that. I don't actually know Razvan all that well, but I do remember hearing that his family have a knack for reading intentions. It's usually more an angel thing than a demon thing, but to be honest, both species can often learn the traits of the other with enough determination.

Thank you, Serenity. It was a long time ago that he died, actually. Fifteen years. It was on one of his returns here that I first met him, so I never knew him when he was alive the first time. As for now... yes, sick is as apt a term as any. Somehow, we ended up calling the condition Zombie Fever, and it stuck. Normally, a dead person's injuries automatically heal themselves as soon as they're dealt. Handy, as you can imagine. With Zombie Fever though, all those old injuries start to return, regardless of whether or not they would have naturally healed in a living person. It's... one of the most horrible things I've ever seen. It's why we're so desperate to return him to the Beyond.
