#//for urick there's lots of layers but also imagine being stuck with a homicidal hater who also happens to be the grim reaper

[iinexorabile]

Having an entity like The Reaper as one's Pact Partner is definitely a harrowing experience to say the least, and not necessarily because of the way his Pact-related Immortality functions.

Urick and The Reaper, being bound to one another as they are, are able to directly communicate with one another through their minds whenever they wish. Urick often doesn't wish to speak with The Reaper, but The Reaper, through this communicative link, are often speaking to him, and it's not fun.

The Reaper can't force Urick to do anything he doesn't want to (unless they are entering his body to Resurrect him-- that's a discussion for another day too) but having a voice in his head that's often telling him to brutally murder those around him and spill their blood can be grating on the psyche.

Making matters worse is the fact that The Reaper can be quite cruel toward Urick specifically, sometimes taunting him, or shaming him about past failures (they like to copy Oror's voice and berate Urick with it for example but there's more than that), further compiling the grief and guilt he has to wrestle with on a near daily basis.

All of this, and Urick kinda has to just deal with it, because he can't turn the communication off. The only thing that ever truly quiets The Reaper down is when Urick happens to kill people with his scythe (usually in defensive situations or with people who truly deserve it like bandits and other evil ilk), those incidents will usually quell The Reaper's lust for death for a while, but it always comes back at some point.

The price of Urick's Pact was his Mortality yes but sometimes he feels that having to hear and deal with The Reaper is the true price he's had to pay.
