The Knight and the Elf

Greetings, Majesty! I'm Vel, one of the knights stationed in your lovely town. I'm happy to report all's well!

Thank you for the report, sir knight.

That's what I'm here for, isn't it? To be honest, there hasn't been a whole lot to do. Oh! I did see Danika training a few days ago, and...WOW! She can fight!

(She's training to get her old strength back, just like you!)

I've never seen such grace and skill! It's like she's got lifetimes of experience! I gotta know, how old is she?

She's so tiny, but she used that great bow like it was nothing. You're amazing too, of course, Majesty, but I wasn't expecting anything like that from Danika! So, tell me, really. How old IS she?

Okay, okay. Maybe that was a little rude...

Why, I bet she's almost as good as Irena. So, how old is she?

If you don't count the time she was asleep, she's about 240 years old.

Heh, I think there's something wrong with my ears. How old did you say? 24?

240 years old. She's still a baby, isn't she?

240 years old...baby? Did I hear you wrong? I mean, even 24 years is old for a baby... I need to get my ears checked.

(Vel mumbles to himself. He must be impressed that Danika became the Elder of War at such a young age!)

Do you know Danika's age, Majesty? Ah, I guess you're too busy for such thoughts.
