Five years ago? "This time around"? What, are you some kind of time traveller?

[syndromed]

That's the easiest way to think of it, yes.

[third_alternative]

But you...died, there, in that thing I saw, right? So it's like...immortal time travelling.

Jeez.

So, uh, all the time weirdness stuff taken into account, how old are you actually?

[syndromed]

It's rude to ask a lady that.

[ ... she's joking. ]

Over a hundred. Or sixteen. Depending on how you look at it.

[third_alternative]

And...how am I looking at it, to get over a hundred or sixteen?

[ cuz like. just normal human sight looking at it, neither make sense. ]

[syndromed]

Time travel.

I spent over a hundred years in June of 1983. Then I made it out. I grew up, I turned sixteen.

[ but, well, she's eleven now. so. ]

[third_alternative]

A hundred years?! Cripes.

Well, you don't look sixteen.

[syndromed]

This body is eleven.

[ she just never bothered to correct him all the times he got her age wrong... ]

[third_alternative]

How'd you end up back at being 11 if you got out of the time travel stuff and turned 16?

[syndromed]

... Don't worry about it.

[third_alternative]

Why not?

[syndromed]

Consider it a personal matter.

[third_alternative]

Alright, alright. I'm backing off.

[ even if she's 11 right now, he can recognize the middle-aged mom "i will not be discussing this further and that's final" vibes in there. ]
