[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.]

I have come to understand that modern Japanese historians refer to my era as the Asuka period. I 'died' sometime around the 7th Century, to use a date you may be more familiar with.

So six-hundred-somethin'. Wow.

Yeah, things've changed a lot in a thousand-an'-some years.

Fourteen centuries, give or take. The culture shock wouldn't be so bad, I suppose, had I not spent those fourteen centuries staying by the tomb of my prince, awaiting their resurrection. But I wouldn't have been happy.
