Speculatively, he eyed the pictures, brushing his chin with the feather of his quill in a distracted fashion as he did so. Some of the people in those pictures looked exactly the same age to Ezra's eyes, but he was pretty sure he could at least get the babies right. Ezra knew a lot about babies.
In his clumsy but relatively legible scrawl, he set to work: SPOILER!!: Ezra's answers
4: You can tell that's the youngest because that's inside the sack of water, which means he's not even born yet! It doesn't even look ready to come out yet, look at its eyes!!!!
10: That baby is out of the sack of water (it has a name, I know, but I don't really know it, I think???) but it doesn't look very comfortable with being among the living (or the living that don't live in sacks of water???), so he's got to be a newborn. He also looks like he's ready to cry, and my little sister, when she was a newborn? She cried a lot, too.
2: Definitely doesn't look like it's (she? he? I'd say it's a boy because it's wearing blue, but gran's favourite colour is blue and she's lady???) ready to cry, which probably means it's now used to be outside the sack of water.
3: She looks like she's old enough to sit by herself without needing anyone to prop her up but not old enough to walk. Maybe not even crawl. Hey, I see teeth!
12: Well, he's eating an apple and to eat apples you need most if not all your teeth so he's definitely older than the girl.
11: I was going to say 8 was younger because he looks it, but then, girls also look older than boys, sometimes, so maybe 8 is actually older.
8: Older!
6: I guess he's a teenager. Looks about my other sister's age, actually.
1: Older! actually, she may be my brother's age...
5: Older! But not my brother's age.
9: See above. : )
13: Ancient.
7: Gran, is that you????? I think she may have too many wrinkles to be gran though I'm pretty sure gran has that same dress...
quote=DaniDiNardo]She was going to take the fact that he never responded to mean that even he understood the sensitivity of the stars. That's why she liked Professor Airey. He understood stuff.
Her attention turned to the portraits when they were revealed. Just a whole bunch of different people...not even one alien? How ruuude. Aliens aged too and they actually had more in common with stars than humans did because they all lived in outer space together doing space-y stuff that humans couldn't do for the same reason as the one the Professor gave for them not being able to go to outer space.
Lame.
She eyed each of them curiously as she listened to him explain. Was that all? Pffft, she could do that...or at least attempt to. Details weren't her thing...She pulled out a piece of parchment and her quill.
Alright...let's see...
There. Done.[/quote] Quote:

What did they have to do with Astronomy, though? Oh. Life cycles. She would attempt the parchment stuff.. but.. y'know, descriptions weren't exactly her forte. So hopefully he didn't expect anything genius from HER of all people, because he wasn't going to get it. Quote:

He'd definitely been a pirate ninja at one point, before retiring with his wealth to a house boat in Florida.
BUT ANYWAY. He could do this, even if he was one of the last ones to turn it in. and finally...... Quote:

This was still Astronomy class, right? Nothing to get that excited about, in Ethan's opinion.. but then again, maybe you had to be slightly crazy to want to teach such a mediocre subject. yep...pretty much
