[ That's absolutely it. There's a relief here in being able to just talk about things and not have to talk around it or straight up lie. Nanami's feeling better about just being transparent about where he comes from, each new experience encouraging him some more towards it.

Though, he can't say he expected to be told Charlie is eight-nine years old. Well then. ]

... Huh.

[ Extended lifespans indeed. It's kind of ironic, Charlie is long lived and Nanami is... the exact opposite. Though he doesn't think he wants to tell Charlie about that part just yet. ]

Then I hope it's not a bad thing I'm only twenty-eight. I can understand if that's a turn off for you, considering.

[ He's not opposed to Charlie's age, doesn't think that would deter him at all. But Charlie might feel a little strange about dating someone so significantly younger than him. Hm. ]
