The Bright Side

(The ball is stuck in a tree.)
Zoe: Well, game over anyway.
Markus: Em'll get that!
Emily: Yeah!
(She climbs up the tree.)
Abe (looking up at her): I guess you having no fear makes sense, with Death on your side, hey...
Emily (retrieving the ball): He wouldn't save me from a fatal fall! A non-fatal one, maybe, but I actually stick to my limits!
Abe: Huh! How does he know?
Emily: I'm not sure how he can tell, but it's his whole job to know, so.
(Zoe catches the ball as it's flung down.)
Markus: Um... does he know when you'll die?
Emily (hopping out of the tree): He says he doesn't. But I think he's lying.
Markus: Is that weird?
Emily: I wish he wouldn't lie, but otherwise eh. But I dunno if that means he thinks it's weird, or if he just doesn't want me to hassle him about it, or what.
