The rest of their lives together, but only if Anders has shortened Nate's. He chooses to focus on the other parts of what Nate's saying instead, though it's a difficult thing to pull his mind away from the pain.

"I won't be letting you leave me. And you won't let me leave you. So that's how it is." There's still a little desperation in his voice despite the exertion. "You're stuck. Your dog needs you, your mage needs you, and your mage's cat needs to have someone's nose to pounce in the middle of the night." He presses a kiss to Nate's lips. Weariness is threatening to claim him but he's not ready to go to sleep yet. Every moment that he can have he wants.

"And we've got more people this time, as well. Just in case." So that hopefully no one is hurt half as badly as Bethany and Kirk were, if this circle brings demons as well.
