Some better than others, and some I only just met.

[and only one, really, had been the problem.]

Was yours that bad?

I don't remember eighteen-year-old humans being a blight on our galaxy, but the ones from Earth are something else.

[and profoundly strange the boy was younger than his granddaughter—the stranger's jump-off. but he's got better manners than to say.]

Did you trust them? The ones that weren't Max.

[this actually gets a laugh out of him.]

I don't know about that. Eighteen year old humans in our galaxy did damage, too. It's a busy age.

[jezzi, maybe, would still be alive to attest to some of the things he'd gotten up to around that time; it's a thought that tempers the laugh, seals it right back up where it'd come from.

anyway:]

I trusted them. It could've been a worse group.

[it also could've been better, but]

You're very lucky for an unlucky man.

Not less busy, now you are however old you are, it seems.
