Anton continued to work silently as Bakura spoke, and mentally tallied that timeline while he did. That would make Bakura roughly three-thousand years old ... however had he survived that? Possibly something similar to the earth-power; Bakura's emotional mindset was altogether too young for someone who had actually lived each year, and the word 'missed' indicated some manner of stasis.

"I did not realise," Anton said at last, "though that would have been difficult to predict, to be sure." Not even sorcerers lived that long. "What magic bound you to stasis?"

And had it been by choice? Anton didn't think so. Bakura was bitter. It practically infused his being.
