Homeless OC!

[sleeplessteen]

You bring me away from my coding for this? Did you really have to bring me over, I was fine just sitting in your head for a while.

Man, you get cranky when you don't sleep.

I suppose you'd have met more being about twice my age.

[lifewithoutrest]

I believe I'm quite more than twice your age.

[sleeplessteen]

I was trying to be nice. You're more likely to be three or four times my age.

[lifewithoutrest]

Much more.

[sleeplessteen]

Five?

[lifewithoutrest]

How old are you?

[sleeplessteen]

Ten. How old are you?

[lifewithoutrest]

274 years old.

[sleeplessteen]

[Have some staring.] Whoa!

[lifewithoutrest]

Difficult to believe, isn't it?

[sleeplessteen]

You really don't look that old. Even my mum has more wrinkles than you.

[lifewithoutrest]

[That earns a chuckle as she shakes her head.] I'm not sure she would appreciate hearing that.

[sleeplessteen]

No. But that's why she's not here when I'm saying it.

[lifewithoutrest]

Probably for the best.

[sleeplessteen]

Yeah.

Oh! I never asked your name! I'm Thomas.

[lifewithoutrest]

It's very nice to meet you, Thomas. I'm Helen.

[sleeplessteen]

Nice to meet you too! Even if you are ancient.

[lifewithoutrest]

One might be offended by that. [She isn't, though.]

[sleeplessteen]

One might. But Helen isn't.

[lifewithoutrest]

No, she isn't.

[sleeplessteen]

Told ya!

[lifewithoutrest]

I actually find it to be quite the compliment.

[sleeplessteen]

Being ancient is a compliment?

[lifewithoutrest]

Indeed. [No, she isn't going to explain that one.]

[sleeplessteen]

Please elaborate.
