[It happens sometime when they're still figuring out the way magic works -- long enough that they know that they're not aging, that something's very different in being a Summoned, when their bodies are starting to change and warp with the power inside them. But it's before eternity's become mundane, before they start to lose days and weeks and months.
It's when Koby still feels everything so acutely his whole body seems to thrum with it, stardust still spreading glittering bit by bit through his hair, his skin. How he met up with Steve isn't the point -- they'd been called upon simultaneously at one time or another, back when finding a peer still meant something. But over the past months (years? something), they've gotten closer, two teenagers (sort of) hanging out like teenagers do.
That's why it's Steve who Koby seeks out first, all eager grinning and visible starlight glow, when hours of practice finally pays off. He shows up in the Horizon, bounding forward, bouncing on his heels a little as he spots Steve.] Hey! I got it -- I finally figured it out, the -- faraway answering Echoes thing? I figured it out! C'mere, let me show you!
