I'm starting to wonder if I'll be home in time for my thirtieth birthday.

[Noah still has a couple of years before he really has to worry about it, but time does fly on the Tranquility. Who knows, the next jump might be all it takes.]

I had a lot of plans centered around that number. I was going to have my own studio by then. I wanted my brother to be living with me by the time we were thirty.

[He pauses in his sketching, tips his chin up thoughtfully.]

That lovely wedding dress reminded me that I'd also hoped to be married by then...

Some things are out of my control. I can't bring my brother here to be with me - wouldn't if I could. But being here doesn't have to rob us of everything. So, Cillian-

[Has there ever been a proposal on the network before? Is there about to be one?

Nope.]

I'll be working late tonight. No studio, but I can still do what I love. Tyke, I have a couple of those designs drawn up. Pop in and take a look, and if you're happy we can get started right away.

So Tranquility, what were your plans? Are any of them things you can do here?

I didn't.

[He takes a deep breath, rubs his face.]

I was thinking of too many things at once. That was hideous.

Do you want a place to hide?

I'm working my way through all Debussy's piano pieces I can remember, if you like that sort of thing.

[skindeep]

I would adore listening to you play.

Sixth floor music room.

[skindeep]

Will you be there in a bit? I have an appointment to keep, but I'm free after that.

Have you eaten?

[majestyofthethrone]

Not in a few hours.

[skindeep]

Leave that to me.

[majestyofthethrone]

Okay!
