So at what age are you really an adult? I mean, not maturely but like... to other people. You say you 'come of age' and stuff like that but exactly what age is that in Ferelden? Here you can't join the army if you're under seventeen, which is fair. Does that mean you're an adult after seventeen?

I heard some rifter saying you can't drink unless you're eighteen or twenty-one or whatever. Rivain doesn't have a rule like that. I had wine when I was a kid, so I don't see the point of restricting it.

...but, like... at what age are you an adult? How old do you gotta be to marry someone without it being weird?

[Pause.]

Not that I'm marrying anyone!

So how many husbands did each of them have?

[byblow]

Seven. Of course.

[ And a sigh. ]

Your investigation—investigatory—investigwhatever skills, they're admirable, but I'm fairly sure the fact that I was an unmarried virgin at eighteen is actually a matter of public record. I think you could walk into a literal library and read it in a literal book. That might be faster than quizzing me on the details of a joke.

I don't think we have that one in ours, we should probably fix that.

But this is so much more fun. That and seeing just how far the joke goes. It's a remarkable trait to being able to go that far.
