Where you come from, at least... Even humans would be toddlers at that age where I'm from.

Please enlighten me: when are humans adults in your world?

Well, the rate that I age is pretty normal for my world, and I'm over a little over 300 years old, if that helps.

Ah. It must be nice, to live so long.

Honestly, I don't know how you don't wake up every day panicked at how fast time must move for you.

[endorsi

please]

For one, it doesn't feel that fast. Relativity and all.

Secondly, I think most beings just don't think about their own mortality.

[There's a beat of surprise, before:]

Oh. It's pretty safe where you come from, then?

Safe enough in peacetime, I would say. And it's peacetime right now.

[Thinking that over for a moment.]

Sounds nice, in a way, I guess... Still, doesn't that get boring?

Truthfully? No. Humans find other things to squabble about all the time. It's just that said squabbles don't often result in a massive loss of life.

What is it that you spend time doing, then?

Math and science, mostly. When I'm not fulfilling basic needs like eating and sleeping..

...And that doesn't bore you at all?

No? Why would it?

Because it's math and science...?

[#just jock things]

That's what makes it so interesting though!

I don't get it.

I think it might just not be your thing, then. Though if you are ever curious to learn more, I can show you what I know.

[She tilts her head.]

Oh? I imagine it must be harder to do here, though... After all, didn't you just come with a marble?

Don't worry, there's plenty of materials here to use.

[They should make a baking soda volcano next week.]

[She tilts her head.]

Like what?

Phosphorus is always fun to mess around with. As are baking soda and vinegar.

Aren't the last two cooking ingredients? What could you do with those?

Well I can't just tell you. But I'll show you as soon as I can set something up.

When the new week rolls around, then? For now, I'm guessing you'll want to get prepared for tomorrow.
