Dakshana pushed herself up onto her elbows. “Immortal?” He must have been mad.
His smile turned enigmatic, and she saw him reach for something at his belt. A knife. She recoiled sharply, one hand out to shield herself, ready with a rune. She could only watch in stark horror as he drew the blade across his forearm, drawing blood in a smooth line. He was mad.
“Sir - you’ll hurt yourself - let me -” A binding rune would help, wouldn’t it?
And then, before her eyes, the wound began to close.
He kept smiling. “You see? Immortal. Would you like to try?”

Okay... was she always immortal or did that develop?
Ah. She was born immortal, but it takes a genuine death to trigger it. Despite Chadstone's romantic panic, she didn't actually die in the shadow realm.
