Hey, so like, I have a question for everyone. Is it a sign of getting old when you remember it's your birthday but you don't remember how old you are? I mean, it doesn't really help that time's been hard to keep track of since I got here, or the Fleet, or even when I first got launched into space.

I was seventeen when everything started. Just a stupid teenager. I still feel like that sometimes, honestly. And I'm, uhhh... Crap. Something now. Somewhere in the early 20s? Keith, are you still keeping track?

[He gives a slight wave of his hand, a sheepish smile on his features.]

Okay, so early 20s isn't old. But honestly? I feel older. I think I have for a while. Anyone else get that vibe about themselves?

[They'd tried harder in the beginning to keep track of these things, but with how long they'd been, how many places they'd been... It wasn't easy.]

Yeah. A while sure is right. Sometimes I just kinda step back and look at us and... Like, who the quiznak are these two people, you know? Not in a bad way, mind you.

[And that was without thinking around the idea that they kept going back home... Keith wasn't sure if that counted for resetting their ages or not. He felt like he'd lived more than he actually had.]

Heh... [Keith's chuckle was soft, short, and a bit dry.] Yeah. I can see that. [They both had changed a lot in their own way.

He did get thoughtful for a moment, furrowing his brow.]

Do you ever... you know... think about home? [It had been a while even since their last visit at this point, too.]
