Ninety. Right. Because even if Shinobu was supposed to be from when Mimi had been a girl, he was also from thirty years in the future. Thirty years in the future, Claudia would be the same age as Thace's boyfriend and boy was that weird when she thought about it.
"I'm so sorry," she repeats. Then, biting her lip, she asks, "Did they say things about you being cute all the time? The bad fairies that took you?"
That would definitely be a reason to not like to hear about being cute, she thinks. A really good one.
