VIDEO: 002
It’s funny how time works here, isn’t it... Even disregarding what happened with the missile launch.
[Quatre’s sitting on a beach outside Heropa-- one of the meteor-viewing party spots-- as the sun sets; his eyes keep drifting away from the camera to watch the light off the water.]
For example, my birthday was a few days ago, by this world’s calendar. Back in my world, it was December, but I arrived here in March. I want to say that it’s hard to believe it’s been a year... but it hasn’t been, not really. Ten months, give or take. In the end, I suppose it’s the date that’s more important than how much time has passed, especially when no one else in this world would know that it matters.
[After a second, he visibly catches himself, smiling apologetically at the camera.] I'm sorry, that’s pretty dramatic for a birthday, isn’t it? I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s had to deal with this, for birthdays or holidays or important dates back home. I’d like to know what people normally do, or if it’s not something that’s worth worrying about.
...Well, in either case, it's been a year or ten months since I first came to Earth. I was mostly in Europe and Asia before, so I’d like to see more of this country while I can. If anyone has any recommendations for places to visit, I’d love to hear them. [His eyes are wandering off to the horizon again.] It really is beautiful here.

Exactly. Just tell me when you get time off work, and we'll make it happen. [ beat ] Half so I can get work off too, and also so my relative Will doesn't worry half to death.
no subject
Oh, of course. There's no need to worry family by just disappearing. [He's busy thinking of the time that he just up and disappeared on his, so it takes him a second to remember that he's talking to a god (?). He blinks when he remembers.] Ah, would I remember Will from my unit on mythology as well, or...?
no subject
Will's my son, but he was born a lot more recently. Like, within the past two decades recent.
no subject
His eyes widen in surprise when he hears the timeframe, before he realizes what a rude reaction that was. He definitely shouldn't pry about gods who look his age and their children. Definitely too nosy.] Ah, well-- it's nice that you have family here?
[nailed it]

[ Lester winces, out of sympathy for the poor kid. He hadn't been there to witness it, of course, but word spread fast among gods - and at the time, driving the sun hadn't been part of Apollo's duties. (Part of him bitterly wishes that Helios could still take reins, but he knows that back home, the other sun gods are picking up the slack. ]
To be fair, I don't always look like this. [ He leans forward, resting a hand under his chin - and if he looks amused, that's probably a trick of the camera. ] But yeah, he's about your age? Give or take a couple of years.

[ Wait, that sounded practical. Lester groans with sudden realization, dragging his hand over his face - ] -- Aaaaand I just realized that I'm turning into my kid.
[ or, as most people would call it, "a practical human being." ]
