Overthinking like teens do

Who: Ciel Phantomhive and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Goldstone
When: Afternoon of June 1

[The blue-haired teen is in the kitchen of the Goldstone, a cup of tea steaming in front of him. His communicator is propped up so her can just relax and enjoy his tea. And a small plate of oddly shaped cookies.]

What do you all do when you arrive in a new world in the middle of a year? And yet you left at the end, just shy of your birthday?

[He nibbles at a cookie, sets it down, and takes a sip of tea.]

I arrived in Riverview in July but I left England just two weeks before my fourteenth birthday. So it was sensible to say I was fourteen. I was there a year, so... fifteen. It's been about six months here, would I almost be sixteen now?

[There's a soft sigh, toying with a cookie.] Interesting as all this is, it's a bother to think about it all. I'd be marrying in a year, if I were in England...

[He doesn't seem too concerned about that though and takes a deep breath, smiles, and gestures to the cookies.] There are biscuits here in the kitchen, if anyone on the Goldstone would like. I made too many.

It's not uncommon. Happens to a pretty decent chunk of us-- We poof from here temporarily, go home and live more of our lives without remembering life here, then come back here with all our memories back in tact. I've had it happen like, maybe three times?

[He's content with that it's been some time since it's happened, though. And things back home weren't all too awful last he came from, so part of him is fine with where he is.]

Oh, man. So, I was still seventeen when I came here, which I think was in the month of June. So I celebrated my eighteenth birthday in July. Went back home at some point, and time passed, came back. Might've happened twice. Between that time, and the time here, I'm sure than more than a year passed before July swang around again here. But I just celebrated it as my nineteenth. In a month and a half, I'll celebrate my twentieth, but in terms of time that I've actually lived through, I'm guessing I'm closer to twenty one.

As sorted out as it can get. I mean, in the end, the number doesn't matter all that much. I'm just happy to make it to another year.
