[ Angel detangles from him so he can keep making breakfast and she can get that coffee. Coffee first, then word babble. Going for the cup he had made before she goes to the kitchen counter beside him, bouncing on her hooves to jump and sit on the edge of the counter. ]
I think it's the Red Shift everyone mentioned. It... deposits stuff. I mean, us, for one thing. [ Paise. ] You know I find it kind of nice to have an actual event to warn for being dumped between dimensions this time? [ she clears her throat. ] But other stuff. Lots of stuff. Stuff that shows up in dirt. Dirt keeps a history of everything. So does the bacteria in your stomach, but that's something for Tannis to go on about.
[ She braces her hooves flat against the desk, propping her knees up with the way they naturally curve. ] Granted, remember how in the book I mention about radiation being really bad? [ Because unlike Jacob, she knew Connor would have taken the time to read and take steps to learn from it. ] It does that to everything, not just people. Radiation is an explosion that never ends. Forever and ever and ever, it reacts. It changes form, which is the remarkable part. Usually matter, any kind of matter, it can be mixed, sure, but everything that was there, is still there, it just... rearranges itself. Imagine it like Jacob changing hats. It's always Jacob wearing them, it's always a hat, but it can look very different depending on what he found in the cupboard today. Water is always two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. Even if you put something else in it, that won't disappear. You can't actually destroy anything in the galaxy, not really. Nothing ever, truly, dies. There is parts of your bones, your blood, your organs, whether you know it or not, that was thrown out of an exploding star, millennia ago.
[ She lifts her hand with the coffee, giggling. ] I wouldn't put it past Jacob's part of that cosmic dust to be wearing three layers and a hat then either.
