“Cryofreezing. You really have everything, don’t you?” She waggles her eyebrows. Dutch is jealous, of course. She’s always been on the pulse of new things. What else can one expect from a person whose career is centered in technology? Still, she takes comfort in knowing that Ivan doesn’t have the internet like she does.

“I suppose that’s how it is with most things. Everyone has an opinion. There are at least two sides to every issue.” She shrugs and takes a sip of her wine. “I’m not sure how I’d get along in your time. I’ve always leaned more towards liberalism politically and I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. I’ve known many people who have told me that’s a fault, but I’ve never managed to correct it.” Dutch sighs. It’s the truth. Saying too much or saying the wrong thing has gotten her into many a fix. Surprisingly, even though it’s still true to this moment, she’s gotten better. She’s more tactful than she was as a teenager. Perhaps once she hits thirty she’ll be alright.
