"all the time in the world."
yes, perhaps that was the case. to be honest, for the longest time, the mere idea that he could continue to live an existence without knowing that excitement of loss or death was probably the only one thing that he had truly ever feared.
but, while that was a terrifying prospect, it's in shylock's words that he also discovers a renewed faith in his life here is sort of ... restored? perpetuated once more? he's not quite sure what the label for this would be, but he finds himself just a tiny bit grateful. small enough where he doesn't even realize it is gratitude.
with that said, he finishes up his finished product, and this time is actually does look quite similar to shylocks, including the salt rim. as he pushes it in shylock's direction, he does add a nearly inaudible word of thanks. moving on from that— ] Yes, we will just have to see where this path takes us.
