"Definitely going to work, definitely different for magicians. Men in my time usually make it to about eighty. I could live a lot longer than that, but probably not until more that one sixty or so. But possibly way shorter; my mortality risk from magic is going to stay pretty static even if I don't follow you into a war."
Grim reality, unfortunately. He looks up to Fives;
"I'll set you all somewhere close to where a normal healthy adult Mandalorian is, and we'll do some fudging to approximate your physical age to a new lifespan- you look like you're in your mid twenties. So if they live to be a hundred you'll probably live seventy five more. Probably I'll do you all up with a range of about twenty years, give or take, so there isn't the looming certainty of death. Maybe a little longer- just to match Jedao neatly and compensate for previous bullshit."
Those sound like such impossible stretches of time to him, especially when he'd never expected to live even as long as he has, let alone to ever actually be the age Quentin says he looks.
"There's, uh, not really any such thing as a normal adult Mandalorian?" Fives answers, wrinkling his face up a little. "It's not a species, or even a race, it's just a culture. A Hutt could be Mando if they were willing to follow the resol'nare. But, uh, a hundred... actually it sounds kind of impossible to even imagine." So good, probably. And scary.
