"I quite enjoy being domestic and... Not so much old as settled, actually." She leans against Occlus some. "Though I wouldn't turn down younger hips."

Occlus settles an arm around Ani.

"The children are not ours. We are babysitting for Ani's daughter."

"...I can't imagine willingly having a child, let alone grandchildren."

Ani looks briefly sad.

Then smiles. "Children, actually. Two, both rather excellent - they're up there with my mistress for favorite people. Though I suppose I never knew what to do with babies as a teenager, either."

Gentle squeeze.

"Call it a shift in perspective."

"More like a teleportation thereof."

She tucks her head under Occlus's chin.

"One that worked out well for me."

"...Why are you calling her mistress?"

Gentler smile. "I love her, and I belong to her, and it was more to her taste than 'master.'" Also she noticed it bothered her younger alt, and she's a horrible goose of a person.

"Do you two not...?"

"...We're dating. I'm not - that subby. At all."

"I wouldn't ask her to be."

Quick kiss. "My darling is very excellent."

Ani's smile is soft. "It's good your arrangement works for you. Ours - works very well for me."

"I suppose your life must have been- different."

"Perhaps. It might be interesting to - compare different lives."

"Though I'm also curious about your universes. If they're much like ours, or if they have different technologies and the like..."

The Keres casts a gaze around the apartment.

"You seem to be higher-technology than what we've encountered so far."

"I haven't been with the group for very long, to know what they all look like - but so far every world's had different magic, except for two that were just - the same world repeated, with small differences."

"It'd be strange if the Force worked differently..."

"And - do your worlds have space flight? That's the big divider, here, between low technology and high technology worlds - though mostly because those with space flight tend to join the galactic community."

"No, we don't have space travel."

"Huh. Yet you can walk between worlds - what powers do you have?"

"Hm... Lots of different ones related to combat - everyone can pretty much do something different, at a lot of different scales... For some of the less violent stuff - lots of healing options." She nods to Ani. "I noticed something's - off, with your limbs and lungs. If you want, we can probably help fix it."

"I wouldn't mind; it's all old injuries, though, and there's scarring in awkward places."

"Even if it's not something we can handle directly - which is most things - we can call in favors. Tentou - another of me and you - saved some really powerful magic users once, and some of us have political connections to people with healing magic." Mostly Glint, really, though probably Tentou's Naruto is building ones to the medics of her original world.
