How fortunate. I seem to constantly run out of time.

[armd]

Want to swap. I wish there were other things to do around here other than dying or almost dying

[jedies]

It would be a nice change of pace. I almost miss the war.

[armd]

Huh, I've never heard that sentence before

What war

[jedies]

I suppose wars would be more accurate. I was fighting in the Clone Wars.

[armd]

Who was fighting you?

[jedies]

The Separatists. They used droids. Robot armies.

[armd]

Shit.

Never heard of a robot army before. You really are from the future

[jedies]

I'm afraid I have no connection to Earth. But yes, droids were the primary soldiers in the Separatist Army.

[armd]

Right, sorry. Still wrapping my head around that

How do you fight a droid?

[jedies]

We also had a clone army.

[armd]

Fire with fire, huh.

I've only ever fought people, if you can call the infected that. but people who weren't infected too

[jedies]

I've fought all kinds.

It never seems to get easier.

[armd]

Yeah.

(she types and sends it, but she doesn't mean it. abby can't commiserate with him on this one. she built herself up to fight, and kill. it's familiar to her, too much so to be difficult.)

How long have you been at war? (and then, because it suddenly occurs to her,) How old are you?

[jedies]

Three years.

And I'm thirty-eight.

[armd]

You're only thirty-eight?

(he conducts himself with the wisdom and common-sense of somebody much older than that, in abby's opinion.)

[jedies]

What were you expecting?

[armd]

For you to be older than thirty-eight, obviously.

[jedies]

Yes, but by how much?

[armd]

Hmmmm

I don't want to say

[jedies]

Now I'm a little concerned.

[armd]

I didn't think you were 60 years old or anything, don't worry

[jedies]

What a relief.

[armd]

Would that actually have bothered you?

(has she found an unexpected weak point)

[jedies]

Perhaps a little. I'm not immune to vanity.
