"And," Vedrin looked straight into your eyes, you were telling him about someone you love dying. "What happen to him, then?"

That someone was him, a mortal that has died multiple times due to old age. Unlike you; an immortal being who cannot die nor get old, has seen him dying and be reborn many times. It hurts.

You sacrificed many things for his reincarnation into this world, although you have to waited hundreds of years to meet him again, but still the same voice, the same face, and soul.
