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!

Well, different cultures often feel weird when you compare them to your own... so I think you can apply the same at worlds. If anything, I do consider you guys rather weird as well...

No offense intended.

And I'm confused, shouldn't you rather focus on showing your skills rather than your age? I'd rather pick a young but talented man over an old but messy man...

None taken. We are weird.

I wish that was the case, but people kind of don't see it that way. Especially when you're small enough for your species to look like a child.

Who isn't?

Excuse me but if they're superficial enough to decide if you're a trustworthy scout only basing themselves on your height or the lenght of your horns then they're the ones who should wonder if they're adult enough or not...

[issala]

I guess you're right.
