A: That construct never did become ensouled. Neither with the original occupant, nor a new one. But, it's interesting.
S: Mm. You'd... expect...
A: With such strong personalities, it wouldn't be unheard of for souls to alight in *either* of the 400-year entities. With Calyx, perhaps his aversion to living played a part.

A: ...as is so often the case with mortals, he had it backwards. Yes.
S: You're mortal too now.
A: I said what I said.
