Maltese are considered adult when they reach their 21st birthday. A lot of us celebrated it one way or another but not like a right of passage or anything. Eliza smiled cheerfully, her 21st birthday wasn't that far back - just an year and few months. Looking back at it was a bit surreal for her, all she had done over the past year, all the things she has seen, all the people she had met. It felt almost like it was yesterday when she first got in a Sabre's cockpit and touched the stars she had dreamed about for so long. Snapping back from the daydreaming she continued. I personally celebrated the fact my dad would let me see the universe and all it's wonders. He was adamant I should be of age before I get anywhere near a space ship! She chuckled in amusement.
