[vaccination]

Like water off a duck's back, huh? I wish I bounced back like you.

[wildguardian]

Give it ten years? Believe me, you have your shit way more together than I did at twenty.

[And, immediately afterwards:]

And that makes me sound like an old man! Still. You learn a lot between twenty and thirty.

[vaccination]

What? You're that old? I didn't know you were ancient.

[She's just joking around!]

[wildguardian]

I have a young, beautiful face and a deep well of life experience. The best of both worlds.

[Ellie will have to supply her own deeply sarcastic tone to get the full effect of this text, but Yunlan's confident she can handle it.]

[vaccination]

That's taking it a little to too far, buddy.

[wildguardian]

Too much, huh? Oh well!

Anyway, though, seriously: keeping your cool does get easier with practice, the older you get the more practice you get.

[vaccination]

So I'm going to be a little old lady by the time I get my shit together?

[wildguardian]

Depends. It sounds like you've been through enough shit to have a head start on the practice.

[Not that they've talked a lot about her life, but: zombie apocalypse. Zombie apocalypses are enough shit for any teenager.]

[vaccination]

Middle aged not so old lady, then.

[wildguardian]

The point here is, it gets easier to work through shit.

[vaccination]

I just have to become even more jaded. Got it.

[wildguardian]

You did ask how I managed.

[vaccination]

To be fair, I probably would have considered anything else bullshit.
