He's still not quite sure how that had worked) at the point in time he had spoken with Jules's younger self. That whole functional immortality thing taking any and all aging out of the equation had made the question rather moot.
The realization leaves him... utterly unsure what to say. The young child still struggling to deal with the harsh fate dealt to him, and the man who had found a way to shoulder it were two very different people, after all.
...and it was never very easy to deal with the knowledge that your past and your soul had been laid bare for others to see.
