The answer to that question, Rinoa, is 15. 15 zeroes. (Or maybe not, Starbound is based in the UK and they use a different naming system for -illion numbers, but I'm going by the American one.) And Indigo dropped that number so casually, not even thinking that there might be something odd about it -- not thinking that it might be odd that in her universe, a journey measured in lightyears takes about as much effort as going to the corner store.
Indigo looks back, not sure what it is that's bothering the other girl, but nods cheerfully at her question.
"Sure, I don't mind! Sounds like a plan." She steps closer to her, offering her a hand to help her the rest of the way up. (Should Rinoa take her hand, she'll find it's very warm, but not to the point of burning -- it's a pleasant warmth, like an electric blanket.)
