[She just chuckles and kisses his cheek before spinning in the rain.] It's lovely, and a parent can be a child again whenever the opportunity strikes, you of all people should understand that, Grandfather.
Heeey! [He gave her a look of warning.] I was a bit cranky, yes, but I was well capable of running many generations right after! I do have a bit more spring in my step these days, true...
[He walked over and linked their arms together and began walking.]
[She takes his arm willingly, leaning into him. She's missed you so much, Grandfather.] You were very cranky. But I quite liked your fourth generation.
Oh yes! I was quite attached to my scarf and the hat... I still have them somewhere. This generation of yours is quite lovely, if I might add. Very grown and matured, although not without your curiosity about everything.
[Oh, have a bright smile while don't you.] That's because I'm 63 and not a child at all anymore, Grandfather! I've had children, and grandchildren of my own thank you very much.
You're still a child at 63! [If she hadn't been bouncing around him, he would've pinched her cheeks by now. Children and grandchildren aside, she was still a kid in his eyes. He barely remembered what it was like for himself at that age.]
You still have a lot to see and experience.... [He smiled and finally collapsed the umbrella to prove to her he too could still play in the rain.]
Oh... I suppose 908, maybe? Maybe a bit older or younger give or take. You tend to lose track of those things. [He shrugged, and managed to laugh, watching her play in the rain.] Oi, are you ready to go indoors?

And how old are you now then? You were only about 400 last I saw you.

Of course not! Are you really giving up?
