[Anyone passing by house #8 today will see an old man sitting in a nice wooden rocking chair, situated on the porch. He seems to be enjoying the weather. There may be clouds overhead, but it's still a nice temperature. His cane is leaning against the wall next to him. Anyone familiar with Yuan will recognize him, as it's hard to mistake that bright blue hair. It may have a few grey streaks, but aside from that it's barely changed.

Is he... sleeping? Sure looks like it. Then again, he may just be faking it.]

[He heaves a deep sigh, before swatting a hand at Usagi.]

I don't need to look young. I've grown past that phase. I just want my peace and quiet. [Hint, hint.]

[that hint is, well, gotten but ignored. moo, yuan]

So, you want to be all old and wrinkly?

[fortunefail]

[Moo right back at you, Usagi. Yuan gives a simple shrug, before leaning back in his chair.]

What's the point in avoiding it? I should count myself lucky I'm still alive to have this many wrinkles. Some people never make it this far.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I... guess so, but--[she scrunches up her nose] Why would you want to be old? I mean, I don't want to get old, or look old.

[fortunefail]

You would rather die young? Struck down in the prime of your life?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

That's already happened. [three times now. Usagi thinks she has no luck at all when it comes to living, or dying. No luck at all.] I'd rather live, well, forever.

[fortunefail]

Heh. Only a mortal would say that. Trust me, there's no such thing as forever.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Maybe not, but a girl can dream, can't she?

[fortunefail]

Perhaps. As long as it stays with dreaming.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Why?

[fortunefail]

Living forever isn't as ideal as it sounds. [He should know.]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

It could be if you made it fun, and all your loved ones were with you.

[fortunefail]

[Ooohhh, touchy subject.]

[Usagi winces and waves her hands about her]

U-Uh, Anyway, Yuan... Uhm... [oh god now she doesn't know what to say, and aljdal; bad usagi bad]

[fortunefail]

[Hint received, Usagi. Yuan will just switch the topic himself.]

So, how've you been?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Pretty good, Yuan. Let me tell you, it's hard getting used to this messed up experiment-thingy that seems to be going on. [she does so love old!yuan, though. he's old.] And you?
