Oh, there is plenty to do... but little that is worth doing. Worthwhile things only come along once in a generation or so. That is, if one is fortunate.
[ He chuckles, his laughter possessing a balmy cadence. ]
I think you're more than capable, Priscilla, but whether you will or not is an entirely different matter. It should goes without saying that I hope we both live to see many more years, however.
I'd say I'm looking forward to finding out, but I'm not especially. Here it wouldn't be so difficult... I'm told no one ages here, at least not the outworlders.
But at home? It must be odd, watching the world change and staying the same.
...well, no doubt the Organization would send me some kind of suicide mission before it became an issue. They don't like warriors that live overly long. But I wonder what that mission could be. The only thing I can think of capable of doing it would be one of you three. Especially you.
[...]
There'd be a little irony to that, wouldn't there?
[Oi, morbid turn. She frowns, and pushes her hair back.]
It's not my proposal, exactly. I just know the Organization likes to do that kind of thing.
Of course, I could always just awaken. I've heard that if a warrior awakens later in her career, she's rather stronger than she would have been if she awakened as a novice. I wonder what that would make me. What that would turn me into.
[She wrinkles her nose, makes a little hmphing noise.]
What an incredibly depressing turn to the conversation.
But I have always wondered what it's like. I meant to ask you one day. But I could never find the words for it.
