[Wow did you just say he should be fat, Justice? That's rude. But Anders laughs even as his heart pangs with how much he'd missed having Justice around. They might have shared a body for ten years, but they'd barely had what anyone could call a 'conversation.' All the same, he side-stepped the question.]
Not all humans get fatter as they get older, you know. [He shakes his head a bit.] But, no, time shouldn't flow like that normally, but the fleet isn't normal. Or, rather, the group running the fleet don't particularly care how time goes.
When I first arrived on the fleet, my last memories weren't different from yours and the Warden-Commander didn't know who I was yet. I remembered her, but she hadn't gotten to the point of meeting us yet. At the same time, someone...very important to me was here as well and I couldn't remember him in turn for the same reasons. Then, one night I went to sleep and apparently slept for a week -no, not a normal or healthy thing for humans to do, I assure you- and, when I woke up, I'd lived through the next ten years of my life in that span of time. Time is very...all over the place here.
[His smile quirked up at the corner again.] Perhaps that'll be a more familiar concept to you than to the rest of us. [A thoughtful look curved his expression.] I think there's plenty here in the fleet you'll like, even if there's still plenty you'll need to learn about as well.
