"You've grown up to be a gentleman!" She laughs, but weaves her arm through his as they head for the exit.
He is different from the man she spoke to a few days ago, now that she looks again. There's something in the tone of his voice, something in the way he holds his shoulders... perhaps he's no longer a mere student back home.
As for his question, she shrugs. "I'd assumed that the teams who had been with ALASTAIR for longer had settled and begun making families. These children by and large look old enough to have begun their apprenticeships."
She points with the point of her spear to a child in the corridor as they step out of the library. "I was younger than that the first time I picked up a sword. Ahh, it was hard, but children have the advantage of malleability."
