"But you have talking animals," Joe replies, deadpan in his voice because of course the talking animals part would be true.

"They're more like Pokemon, with powers and everything," Cisco says, voice high and excited. "It's pretty awesome."

Joe shakes his head at Yamato to let him know it's okay to ignore Cisco if he wants to, then asks, "You went from summer camp to fighting in a war? How old were you?"

Joe may not have an exact age on this kid, but looking at him right now, seven years ago would still put him as pretty young.
