[ she nods. ]

Mmhm—for a good... sixty or so years. Something like that. I was... pretty surprised to find out a place like that was out there.

[piteous]

They got lucky with their antigravity plant. It's why they get to keep their piece of Eden.

[ He laughs a bit. ]

Did you get married?

[adorabrawler]

[ help ]

Are you kidding? I don't know what was more impossible—keeping a boyfriend or finding one that was even worth the time!

[piteous]

Woah... No one? No one at all in those years?

[adorabrawler]

Do you really have to rub it in like that.

[piteous]

No one confessed to you, either? I mean, you were cute.

[ objectively ]

[adorabrawler]

[ she WAS THANK YOU!! ]

Hmmm... A few. But one was, like, too desperate, the other just wanted the money so I had to kick his ass, and Jonas threatened to shoot the last guy.

[piteous]

... I don't think I like hearing that Jonas threatened to shoot someone.

[adorabrawler]

In retrospect, he was right about it.

[piteous]

Was the guy a sleaze?

[adorabrawler]

A lot of them always are.

[piteous]

Too bad you can't snag yourself a boy here. None are around your age.

[adorabrawler]

My—

Oh, yeah, physical age. Seriously, what's up with this? Why did I have to go looking like a kid again?

[piteous]

... I think everyone returns to the state they went on the missions, considering the first group reverted in ages, too.

Sorry. At least a couple of years won't feel too long.

[adorabrawler]

Blegh.

... But in the grand scheme of things, I guess you're right. It's not long.

[piteous]

You'll be an adult in no time. Just a blink.

[adorabrawler]

... Just don't go back to treating me like a kid again in the meantime.

[piteous]

I have to treat you a little bit like a kid, you know. You're in a kid's body.

But, sure, I can accept you can handle more than a regular twelve year-old.

[adorabrawler]

Ugh, this is hell. I'm starting to understand how Conan feels.
