They are far from the only immortals in Beqanna, but the likelihood of individual lives intertwined for so long is what makes this special. So often she'll pass a horse but once in it's lifetime - or in hers - but Walter is different. They keep meeting despite the time and distance they put between themselves, and often it is because Djinni comes back to look for him.
Often, but not always.
Sometimes it is fate, or karma, or some higher power with a name that no one remembers or perhaps that no one had ever known.
Walter is the one that has known her since she was barely more than a girl, since before she was whatever she has become now with a century of life behind her. He doesn't know all of her, of course, but nor does she know all of him. They can't, not with their constant pauses and rewinding.
The sand settles around them, and Djinni does not take her dark eyes away from him even as he looks out at the sea before them. She wants him to stay here, even if she's not entirely sure what here is yet, and she is unwilling to look away lest he disappear once more.
"The Chamber always had too many trees for my liking", she says with a teasing tap to his shoulder. "Though I'm sure if you really wanted a few pines I could manage that."
