Heiji managed, but only just, to keep himself from breaking into a rather immature snort of laughter at Balem's comment about size and age; he nodded solemnly instead. Sorry, buddy. You were talking to a 200-year-old, after all. "Maybe some humans might be able to date him a little better. But I figure anyone that old'd do the same."

This conversation did, however, bring up an interesting question: "So where was your favorite home? You've had a bunch by now, yeah?"
