Sylvia wouldn't be surprised if her jaw literally dropped to the floor. Millions of thoughts ran through her mind, yet her mouth didn't want to co-operate. She mumbled nonsense before she finally got to her senses. Wander didn't seem to mind that she reacted the way she did. Almost as if it happened to him so often that he didn't care anymore.

"Wait, you're twenty-six million years old? But, that's impossible! The universe had been dated as twenty-six million years old! I'm sorry buddy, I flarpin' don't believe it." Sylvia felt eyes staring at her, yet she paid no attention to them. Her traveling companion simply gave a small sigh before he continued.

"The first time I ever opened my eyes, I sensed I was the only one in the universe. I don't understand how I knew, but I did. It was something I can do ever since I existed." Wander explained in a wistful tone. The guests that were within earshot were interested in his tale.
"Wait, you just existed? What about your parents and family?"
"...I never had a family. I was alone in the world for a few centuries before life on other planets existed. There were others that resembled me, but none lived as long as I have. I had many traveling companions that either passed away from old age, or they left because they thought I was too strange for them. Anyway...c'mon Sylvia, let's have some fun!"

Sylvia frowned, deep in thought. While her friend chatted with the guests, she wondered why he never told her about his real age. She actually thought he was actually a child of his kind for awhile. Wait, there was that one time...

"Wow Sylvia, look at the constellations!" Wander grinned happily as he and Sylvia looked up at the night sky. The jungle planet they were on had a beautiful view of the constellations at night.
"Yeah, it's beautiful." Sylvia smiled before she curled herself up to go to sleep. As beautiful as the scenery was, her eyelids was felt heavy.

"Wow, the constellations sure changed a lot since last time I was here." Wander uttered in glee.
"What?!" Sylvia suddenly lost any tiredness she originally had to stare at her buddy. He looked a bit frightened at her reaction before he stared at his sneakers; as if they were the most interesting sneakers in the entire universe. The zbornak frowned in worry before she sat closer to the star nomad.

"Hey buddy, what's wrong?" Sylvia whispered.
"Nothing, Syl. Don't you worry. I'm just thinking."
"Oh? Well, what did you mean when you said the constellations looked different the last time you were here?"
"..." Wander nervously scratched at his fur before he dared to look back at Syvlia.
"Oh, that? I heard from old folks how the constellations looked so different many years ago. I am just twenty-eight, not old enough to remember how they used to look like millions of years ago." The star nomad laughed nervously at his traveling companion.
"You're twenty-eight? I thought you were much younger. But, you're still younger than me, buddy." Sylvia gave him a friendly punch on his arm; careful enough to make it a soft tap than her usual punches. Wander smiled back in return before he hugged Sylvia. She couldn't see her buddy's nervous expression as she hugged him back...

"Hey Syl, the Elderly Folks meeting is about to start. Since you're my bodyguard, you must be there. They're dying to meet you!" Wander bubbled happily. Yet, there was a tiny hint of nervousness to his tone.
"Bad choice of words, buddy. Alright, I'm coming." Sylvia sighed. She wasn't looking forward to be bored out of her mind, but she'll do it for her friend. After all, he did help her when she needed it when they first met.

Yet, the zbornak couldn't help but wonder why her best friend and traveling companion ever tell her outright his actual age...

To be continued...
