That explains it.

[ That's actually a pretty gracious response for Theon. In his short amount of time here he's learned not to question much. It's easier that way. On top of everything else he's dealing with, he doesn't need to burden himself with the explanation as to why Asha knows so much more than he does or why Alex hasn't aged in five years. ]

You still look thirteen.

[ Okay, well, he's still Theon, and there isn't any real malice behind those words. It's more of a tired additional statement that he has to make to keep up appearances. He seems to feel a little bad about it afterwards, though, because his next statement is actually...considerate? Positive? Maybe? ]

Well, at least you'll never grow into an ugly old hag. Never a white hair or a line on your face, always "surprisingly wise for your age" to those who don't know better.

[The corner of her mouth quirks up just a tiny bit at that. Alex doesn't like Theon, but over the past few months he's become a familiar fixture in her life, and she can't bring herself to truly hate anyone in her crew. The Paisley is all the family she has, and if Theon's right, and she grows old here in this tired, teenage skin, then she figures she may as well relax about it.]

I don't know, I was kind of looking forward to old age. They let you ride around in a little scooter at the grocery store, and no one yells at you for sitting on your ass.

[ The same can be said for Theon as well. He doesn't like Alex, but he doesn't exactly hate her either. He's grown used to her the point of lightening up just a bit. Besides that, Asha doesn't need to be burdened with him causing more trouble--on their own ship, at least. ]

I do not know what that is.

[ He chuckles just a little, though. A real chuckle, not one of those empty chuckles he uses to hide stuff. ]

They may let you sit on your ass all day, but on the bleaker end of things, you do tend to lose control of your bowels. The way I see it, you're not so unlucky.
