The trio walked along the campus path, quietly for a while. The day was sunny and fairly warm for the fall season. Sarah was still self-conscious when next to the tall vulcan, but still felt better having him around. Eventually it was the caitian that broke the silence.
"So I guess it's good news now?" She said awkwardly, trying to sound upbeat.
"Why would it not be good news?" Brok replied in his matter-of-fact tone.
"For you, Sarah I can see it being a good thing." She replied, "But for me I am not so sure."
"Why?" Sarah asked. R'sera took a deep breath.
"Because in my position I have been given five years that I would have otherwise already lived. My growth cycle is matured already so I have nothing to gain by returning other than a shorter life. You have every reason to restore your age".
"An intriquing paradigm."
"True." Sarah replied. "Will you be going through with it then?"
"If I don't have to I won't."
"Let's hope you have the option."
