The question was asked with a level of seriousness, like asking after particular lab results. It was important information, especially since once the library was completed (and oh, it would be completed), there was a high chance that Lord El-Melloi II would be very, very bored. His present demeanor already made it clear that he wasn't inclined to get along with others quickly either, meaning bonding with other Heroic Spirits would be, in light terms, an adventure of sorts.
"Roman, be realistic," he continued, gesturing with his free hand towards the cigar. "Discount the battlefield. I could get a surprise heart attack or some other natural occurrance could pick me off. As you've said, this is a unique situation. I am still flesh and blood, and heir to all that entails. I wheeze after running for just a minute or two."
That was a fact that always made Gray worry. She'd be worried now too, especially since Roman's last few words made him sound closer to some kind of horrifying mage experiment. That this one was accidental was...well, it wasn't clear if that made things better or worse.
"Given that you don't have a baseline for my normal, I'd agree about that being useless. What tests are you intending to run?"
