When I'm young I'm tall

When I'm old I'm short

When I'm alive I glow

Because of your breath I die

 

What am I?

Don't get tired of me. Please.

Re: 8/2

I wasn't planning on it. It seems infinitely more likely you'd eventually become annoyed by me.

[He started in the kitchen, But then remembered they technically have a teenager living with them and decided it would be better to get sloshed in the bedroom where he wouldn't end up weeping in front of her over having kids. That was some time ago now. Now he just knew the bed was soft and welcoming. but empty.]

Warm.

[also warm. he did like to nest.]

Re: 8/2

[aenigmata]

I should hope so, there are certainly enough pillows and blankets.

I'm bringing you water.

[At this point he's only really processed the first part of the text so he's nodding along like it's been said out loud as he huddles under the blanket and uses the light of his watch to see by. It's a bit hard to type and drink and use it like a flashlight all at once.

The answer that eventually comes is short once again, after he's managed to understand the water part.]

no. wine.
