She shrugged, "I sleep light. Anything wakes me up."

She sighed, "I just wander."

"You seem pretty young, kiddo. But I'm not gonna question it," she said. The irony was, she looked younger than him.
-
"Eh, 28 as of now, though I have a good deal of experience. Served in the military for 10 years."
-
"Again. Wasn't going to question it."

-
"One life that I've been very careful and reckless with." [i][b]He says, laughing a bit [/b][/i]

"Who was the enemy?" She asked, "Than obviously other humans."
-
"See, where I come from, we're the only species sentient in the planet. Most the time the enemy was terrorist, or another country."
-
"Yep. We do have a lot a history of war with each other. But that's not what drove us near extinction, ironically."
-
"Well, not in your version of Earth st least."
-
"Oh. Shit. Forgot that was there was other Earths."
-
"Yeah. I still haven't really gotten used to it either."
-
"Yep."
