...We don't have to. [It's not like she's aching to discuss either, but for the sake of having it said—] But it doesn't bother me. It was hundreds of years ago.

Of course not. It doesn't bother me, either. [ though, right: ] I wanted to ask about that, actually. You don't exactly look three hundred years old?

Ahh, people keep saying that to me, but most of you don't look the right age at all! You should be much smaller at eighteen.
