At the mention of Eurydice, Orpheus immediately turns away to flag down a server for another drink. "I have touched no woman since she died," he says. It was a vow he made a long, long time ago, and though he's been tempted, and though the pain of her memory has lessened, he's never broken it.

He won't look at her again, not until he's cleared his throat and taken a breath and gotten his emotions under control a little.

3000 years isn't enough to heal that wound completely.
