"Oh good. I've heard most body builders don't reach their peak until they're forty, so maybe it's the same for farmers and astronauts. Glad to see your tastes are maturing." Ty said lightly, the old jealousy or annoyance he would feel at that answer worn away, harmless as a wool sweater. A button might snag in his hair every once or twice, but it was a worn out thing, nothing to worry about. Instead, he focused on pressing fond kisses between Aurora's ears before following Kira up the stairs, just in case he was going to fall.

He pulled a face at Kira's pointed comment, holding his hands up. "It's not my point." It wasn't relief he felt, perhaps something closer to bewilderment. Kira not sleeping with an older authority figure? What was the world coming to? "And the last thing I want to do right now is to shop around. Unless it's for more blankets and coats because it's getting cold already."
