"Hi, Kenzi!" Cecil sighed and threw himself down on a bar stool, pouting. "I'm homesick already. What sorts of jello shots? Do you have the ones that glow?"
Cecil was probably taller than you remembered, Kenzi. Also with (not much) more five o'clock shadow. And a baritone.

"I'm not old!" Cecil protested. "I'm the same age I've always been! Well, not really. I mean, I wasn't born this age, that I know of. But I'm the same age I've been as long as you've known me. Give or take a few months. Oh, and except for when we got turned into kids. So...maybe not."

"Yay!" He downed the shot enthusiastically. "Yesterday I was 42. Or 34. Or...well, okay, it's complicated. And especially since time doesn't really mean anything. I mean, what exactly is 'yesterday'?"
Yeah, protip, Kenzi: Cecil wasn't much different in an adult body.

"Thanks!" Cecil beamed at her. "I probably just seemed a lot younger because I was so happy to be home," he theorized. "Also, this cold - ugh! - I swear it ages me."

Of course not, silly; he was a teacher!
"Pretty good mostly." Cecil frowned. "I'm homesick, as I may have mentioned. And I'm a little worried about Jono. But I did get to talk to ♥Carlos♥ earlier, and my vision's almost back to normal after Radon Canyon, so that's good!"

"You mean yours didn't?" Cecil cocked his head at her. "Huh. Must be a Night Vale thing. But - oh, yeah, Jono." He shrugged. "He seems a bit bummed about the whole 'not having a head' thing. And did you know, he hasn't had anyone to kiss in ages? I think we should set him up on a date. What sort of thing does he like?"
Okay, that required a slug of Coke to help Kenzi keep up.
"When did the 'no head' thing happen? Or are you talking about the bandages around his face? 'Cause I've always thought that kind of sucked.... I dunno what he likes in girls. Except, well, girls. Maybe somebody who can sing?" Since he couldn't? Or would that make everything worse?

Give her a sec, to get over the pointing. And blinking.

'Cause if they were talking about time again, she was gonna need it.
"Yesterday, you were what, 17? And today you're...?"

Right, another shot. And one for Cecil.
"No, see, yesterday, you looked like a teenager! Now, you look like an adult! And it's not 'cause of your clothes, although I like that tie."

Are you still in school, Cecil? 'Cause that'd be weird.

Now she was feeling all kinds of freaked out about that Canyon again.
