All right, then, most definitely odd. Again, she thinks on her own life--particularly her upbringing by her uncle, lighting his cigarettes for him and being allowed a few puffs herself before she was eight. Actually, in retrospect, riding a camel regularly before she was eight and being kissed by a Moslem that same year might be enough on its own.

"I'm sure I'm pleased in turn." Her smile, now, is more genuine, and with that her eyes light up.

They're very distinct eyes. Someday, a day that's soon for Claire, someone will comment on them and say he'd only seen eyes on them once before--on a lioness in a zoo in France.

Of all her features, that stands out the most, though hair so curly and, even after her patient styling that morning, somewhat unruly, comes a close second.

(Shh, Master Crane, someone once said to him, golden eyes intent as she bandaged an injury. I have debts to repay you, and someday you'll earn them. And his questions on that had never been given any more answer than, Not yet.)

If you can travel forwards in time by 200 years, Mr. Crane, can you travel just as far in time the other way?
