... I loathe this day of the year. Beauty is already fading--why celebrate the day of your birth?

Why not? It marks another year of life. It is a day to look back on what you have accomplished, and to continue looking to what else the future can bring.

....
How old are you today, Morrigan?

[changerofwilds]

You, bard, have never heard Flemeth's speeches on the subject. One of them, believe me, would give that optimism of yours a fright.

...Twenty-eight if you must know.

[captivatingsong]

....given the speaker, I've no doubt of that. But surely that does not make them as bad as she claims.

....really?

[changerofwilds]

She's my mother. I believe that alone gives you some clue of what I am feeling right now.

Aye.

[captivatingsong]

Well, we're just going to have to make this one a good day for you. Just to try and even the scales a little.

I'm surprised. You don't look so old.

[changerofwilds]

...No. No. Don't do anything.

Then, pray tell, how old did you think I was?

[captivatingsong]

It will only be a nice dinner?

To be honest, I'd thought you were my age.

[changerofwilds]

Alistair better not cook it.

And that would be?

[captivatingsong]

That would be somewhat counter-productive to making it a good day, don't you think? I'll cook something. It will be nice!

Twenty-four.

[changerofwilds]

T'would be a nice day for him--at least you make things edible.

Only four years difference.
