[ He agrees simply, with a sort of coolness in his tone, but he still speaks quite freely. There is a limit to how much he can say, and though these sorts of topics toe the line, he knows he's still free to give as much as he would like. ]
But that is also why many are willing to pay a great price to call my kind. We are not exactly guardians of forbidden knowledge as some stories would suggest, but our longevity gives us many answers human seek, and our intrinsic ties to matters of the soul gives the rest. But I am hardly all-knowing. For example, all of my experience is only for Earth, since until the CDC contacted me, I had no idea there were any other places that housed life at all. So the afterlife I speak of could only apply there. Or it could apply everywhere. I have no way of knowing, since there will be no afterlife for me when my existence comes to an end.
