There was always some kind of catch, wasn't there? Not that Martha would ever want to be immortal. It wasn't something she had even thought about much, because Susan was right. Everyone's time had to come eventually, and trying to outrun that would likely only lead to a huge mess of some kind.
Even Jack, eventually, had found his peace. Martha hadn't known it was him at the time, but thinking back on it, she was glad that she'd been there with him when he'd taken his last breaths.
This was a melancholy topic to be sure, but Martha didn't let that stop her from asking questions. Not when there were so many other universes to learn about here. "You speak about it so casually. An extra century or two. No big deal." She smirked. But was Susan older than she appeared, as Helen was? Of course, there was no polite way to ask that.
"What is Eternity? That is, I obviously know what the word means, but you speak about it like it's... I don't know, something more than that." Martha had been through conversations like this enough times to know when there was more to something than met the eye.
