[It's a relief that Taako lets it go, because Eddie thinks if he dove much deeper into this right now, he'd probably end up choking up in the middle of a restaurant, and Eddie never wants to be that guy crying into his beer, no matter whose life he's living. So he swallows, takes a deep breath, and his smile goes a little more solid, less shaky.]

Seriously? Floating on a lake? Not even waterskiing??

[The smile finally gains a semblance of being real, and Eddie's eyes brighten.]

And yeah, I guess it is. I mean, at least I have one constant in my life. Still a cop.

I don't even know what water skiiing is, my man.

[It probably requires a body, though, which souls don't exactly have anymore, not counting Kravitz, who's probably exception.]

But hey, there you go. It's not the fucking ideal situation, for sure, but I'm glad you've got something.

[He's trying.]

[causational]

Well, I mean, it's pretty much what it sounds like. You strap a board or boards to your feet and a boat drags you around fast enough you can skim on top of the water. It's a lot more fun than it sounds.

[It's easier, this way, talking about more mundane things, like going waterskiing in the afterlife than it is talking about his death and why and how it happened.]

It's definitely something. And I'm...yeah, I'm gonna do my best. No more elevators though, I'm definitely taking the stairs from now on.

No more elevators is the smartest shit you've ever said. I'll drink to that.

[He hasn't moved his hand from where it's resting under Eddie's, but that's fine, he's got another one he can use to lift up his drink for a toast.]
