it's like a quarter life crisis

Why are so many of you so young? I'm not the only one at a more mature age, am I? Is anyone over 20? I'm getting wrinkles just thinking about this.

There are hardly any children here. Nearly everyone I've met is an adult.

[razzledazzles]

Really? Where have they been hiding? Most of the people I've met have been younger!

[brynwieldr]

I haven't gone around and asked, but there are plenty of adults, albeit some of them only just if I'm any good at guessing ages. No one under the age of fourteen, certainly.

[razzledazzles]

Fourteen is plenty young.

[brynwieldr]

Not an adult just yet, no, but close enough to count I would think. Unless you consider adulthood to come later that sixteen.

[razzledazzles]

Sixteen is definitely still a child, no matter how you look at it. Seventeen, maybe, but...

[brynwieldr]

Sixteen isn't so different from seventeen.

[razzledazzles]

And fifteen is not so different from sixteen. The line has to be drawn somewhere.

[brynwieldr]

Fifteen is more like fourteen than sixteen, however. Regardless, there's plenty of adults here. Perhaps not ones as old as you, but all the same.

[razzledazzles]

Then, if you'll refer back to my post, how many are over 20?

[brynwieldr]

I wouldn't know. I haven't asked. I am, at least.

[razzledazzles]

At least there are a small handful of people in that age range, so far.

[brynwieldr]

You are really obsessed with the age of others, aren't you?

[razzledazzles]

No, it's just my own presentation I'm worried about.

[brynwieldr]

Should we be watching you for signs of murdering younger people and bathing in their blood?

[razzledazzles]

Can we stop bringing up blood baths?

[brynwieldr]

I assume your world does not have the horrific nobility of Nohr.

[razzledazzles]

Ignoring that I'm a shinki and can't remember a thing about my own world, I'll have to say no, I don't recognize that at all.

[brynwieldr]

Probably for the best, to be perfectly honest.

[razzledazzles]

I don't get an explanation?

[brynwieldr]

I'm not quite sure an explanation is needed. I've mentioned bathing in the blood of young and youthful people twice in relation to the nobility of my home. Do I need to spell out what some rather insane people did in my homeland's history?

[razzledazzles]

What about an explanation as to why you feel the need to keep bringing this up?

[brynwieldr]

Obsession with youth can lead to terrible things.

[razzledazzles]

You know, I was actually saying there was a bit too much youth.

[brynwieldr]

Which is what the last blood-bathing witch said before she was hung. Not that I'm implying you would do anything of the sort.
