[Hello, Barge. There's another new face here, one with green eyes and brown hair with white bangs. She smiles, and it's friendly and warm. The voice is all magnolias and honey.]

Not much in the way of orientation 'round here, is there? S'all right. Ah'm no stranger ta jumpin' in the deep end right off. Sorta reminds me of the first day of school.

Mah name's Rogue. Ah'm here as a Warden. Ah'm still settlin' in, but Ah figure Ah'll take a full look around the place here in a bit, get mah bearin's. If anyone feels like playin' tour guide, Ah wouldn't object either.

The same could be said for most of us. [He keeps his eyes on hers when she pulls away, but the smile is inching into his eyes. It's a nice change.]

Got me there. [His growing smile wins one of her own in return. She was lucky he was so young, otherwise it'd be easy to forget which Erik she was sitting with. Well, maybe not. Magnus had never quite been this...relaxed, casual. It was a nice change. She hoped Erik stayed this way.] Anythin' else ya wanna know?

[He shrugs at that, though he's clearly not disinterested.] What else would you like to tell me?

Well, there's a whole lot Ah could. Might take days ta get through it all. [Probably longer.] So how about Ah ask you a question instead?

[He makes a small gesture with his hand, like he's saying 'go ahead.']

I suppose that's only fair.

What year is it where you're from?

1962.

Lord, no wonder you're so young! [It was out of her mouth before she realized it and is immediately chagrined.] Sorry, that didn't come out right.

[It makes his mouth crook at the corner, and he shrugs a little, running a hand along his jaw.]

I shudder to think what the next fifty years have in store for me. [It comes out dryly, because he meant it as a joke, but in a lot of ways, it's true.]

[ Half in jest, and all that, but she appreciates his graciousness.]

If it helps at all, in mah world, ya don't look a day over 40.

[That gets a raised eyebrow.]

What year is it for you?

2013.

[No that makes no sense, his eyebrows are coming together again.] I'd be over eighty.

[ Yeah...about that.]

Thing happened, and well he was physically de-aged inta his prime.

[....................what.]

What thing?

Ah didn't really know him at the time it first happened, but there were a few different folks involved. He was de-aged into an infant, then aged up into his prime. Then further down the line he was rejuvenated. [Wow her world is complicated and mostly insane.]

[He is just going to stare at her for a long moment, excuse him Rogue, but wow that is utterly cray and he's not sure he can imagine that in his future.]

I can't believe this happened twice.

[Well...it may not happen to him, so...there's that?]

Darlin', ya'd be shocked at the things that happen on a regular basis where Ah'm from. [What is 'normal'?]

At this point, I think I believe you. [He doesn't know but it sure as hell sounds like she doesn't.]

[She really, really doesn't.

She gives him an apologetic smile.]

Ah'm sorry. It's a bit much ta lay on a person.

Of all people to tell, [he starts dryly,] Who better than some version of myself?

Knowin' the future, even just a possibility of it, can be an awful burden.

[She sounds like she speaks from experience. Because, guess what! She is.]

[Welp. He gives a dark little chuckle.]

This is far from the first I've heard. You're from - at least the fifth, call them parallel worlds, I suppose, who knows some version of me. I've heard a lot already.

[Most of it, from his tone, not good.]

[She winces at that information, brief but obvious.]

Oh, sugah, and Ah'm the only one that wasn't carryin' pitch forks and torches?

[His mouth quirks at the corner a little.]

You could say that.
