It was not the first time nor doubtless the last that his aged appearance was the aspect that drew the most attention. He was after all, apparently one of the oldest looking person of the crew, and he had been approached and had conversations opened based on that fact alone. Some worlds and timelines apparently were far more intense about removing or altering the elderly than his own, which apart from surgery, allowed an individual the choice to age gracefully or look ridiculous.

Alexander had long ago decided to age gracefully. Aside from surgery for required beneficial senses such as his sight and to a degree his hearing, he had left the rest of him well alone. His craggy face, the thinning of his skin and all other signs of aging never bothered him. Youngster were still awful curious about it.

He paused in his note taking as a young man sat across from him, one he had previously been watching. The familiar face stood out in stark contrast to the rest of the crew around the man, and he found himself amused at encountering two young men with the same faces as very important people from his world. Same faces, different personality. Still useful.

"I do, yes," he replied, smiling as he thought of them. "Do you have children?"
