All the time in the world. Are they functionally immortal now? Yes, they can be killed, just as easy as when they were alive, but with time to learn how to repair lanterns, with the World Eater gone, and if they're not aging... He'd always planned to live well into his 200s, up until either his body or his mind started to fail him. But here, there might be more than that.

Rosinante's question gets a snort. "In a manner of speaking. Things drift because there's no gravity holding them down, so they appear to float, but there's really nothing for them to float on the surface of." The particulars aren't something he feels like getting into at the moment, but that's the gist. "You'd think not having to fight a current would make it easier, but it's quite the opposite."

He's quiet for a moment. "Do you really suppose we've got forever?" It feels like a childish question. "I've always thought that was impossible, but it looks as if we may have found some sort of loophole."
