[Serenes did her good. The absolute peace and quiet in her mind, well, that went away. But the rest perked Rogue up a bit. Enough that she can, at least, address her fellow kidnap victims about something fairly insignificant.]

So, we're from a lot of different worlds, right? That's what I've noticed at least.

That's got me curious.

What're the "milestone" birthdays where y'all are from?

[This has nothing to do with her own upcoming birthday. Nope. Or with using a fairly benign topic to announce her presence to certain people.]

Like. Where I'm from--

You've got sixteen, which means you can drive.
Eighteen's a big deal, even though, y'know, not much y' really get. I mean, buyin' cigarettes an' votin', but that ain' really a big deal.
Then there's twenty-one, legal drinkin' age.

Anybody else got big ones? 'M just curious 'bout the differences in worlds, y'know?

[For the Spades, she's around. Keeping busy, paying close attention to how to work the sails and everything else. The same pep that was in her step on Serenes is gone, but she's also not completely skulking about like she was after Stela and before that.]

Will be in a week an' some days. Eighteen this year.

Yeah? What are you gonna do? You should have a big party with cake and a lot of meat!

Didn' give it much thought. Didn' know if anybody ever did much with 'em here.

They should. You only have one of 'em a year after all. If you don't get a cake tell me and Sanji'll make you one. He's the best cook on the sea.

I'll remember that. Thanks.

I hadn't thought it would matter too much t' anyone. Prob'ly could get Logan t' let me drink, huh? Not much of a legal drinkin' age 'round here, I take it.

haha Logan's a good guy.

What kinda stuff do you want for a present? You should tell Ace. He'll make sure you can get something really good.

Hadn't even thought 'bout any kind of present.

Well what's your favorite kind of thing?

Well, I could definitely use more make-up. I got some good stuff when I got here, but I didn' buy very much. Didn' know how I'd like it, y'know?

Yossh! Okay I can definitely get you that! [it's a weird present and not meat but he can] That stuff can be pretty fun.

I wear a lot of it.

[As can be seen with one look... but, hey.]

But. Y'know. Don' feel like y' have to. I don' need a big deal made of it or anythin'.

I wanna. [he absently picks his nose] We're friends right? [he hadn't really noticed makeup, but he doesn't really unless it's a change]

Yeah. We are. Thanks.
