Cute, the birdie missed him.

The gap between updates lull me into a sense ease. Then I came back and it hit me again with existential angst. He is just a quarter of a high elf lifespan, but that is 4 human lifespans. Following him you reallize so much can be done in a human lifespan, but at the same time, a human lifespan is so short when you have something like a high elf to compare to. It is making me depressed but also motivated to do something.

@Kintoki ur forgetting this is mid evil times the avg life is about 30 years add magic and stuff and let’s say 40 - 60
@Blackfire656 in RL medieval times, sure, but we've seen other characters live until like their 80s in this series, so I don't think the author is taking into account how often they should die due to disease and a lack of good hygiene as well as medical care
