Do you think LILITH keeps an updated birthday calendar?

Maybe we should make one. It might make things a little cheerier every month.

[ She is wholly unaware of when her own birthday is, having been busy with the kaiju last week. ]

Oh, then you're not much older than me! How old would you be in Exandria, then?

[likemybooks]

Oh god, a bit over 32. I can't tell that to people here or they'll think I'm not longer youthful.

[yormama]

That's all? That doesn't seem that old to me.

[likemybooks]

It's an entirely different decade! It just *feels* older.

[yormama]

Ah...like that. I do understand that. Sometimes, you just FEEL older even if it's just a year.

[likemybooks]

At least we gain wisdom through age. [Says the guy with a negative Wisdom modifier.]

[yormama]

Sometimes, I wish wisdom came easier.

[likemybooks]

A lot of trouble would be saved if we could study it from a book.

[yormama]

Precisely! Firsthand experience is a good teacher but it's also the toughest.

[likemybooks]

It's also really deadly.
I think I almost died twice in the past year.

[yormama]

TWICE?!

Thank goodness you're alright! What happened?

[likemybooks]

We were fighting monsters! Obviously some of us almost died!

One of us actually did, but my friends were able to resurrect him but that's beside the point.

[yormama]

You've fought monsters BEFORE coming here?

No wonder! That must've been so frightening.

[likemybooks]

And that's why LILITH chose me to assist them in slaying kaiju!

But I'm not going to get close to death this time.

[yormama]

Don't worry! There are lots of people here who can help you out!
Myself included.

[likemybooks]

Then I must put my life in your hands, just as you can put yours in mine.

[yormama]

Got it! I'll keep you safe, promise! Not even a hundred assassins could touch you!

[likemybooks]

Wait we're not fighting assassins are we

[yormama]

Oh no no no no! It's just an example.

[likemybooks]

I'm just worried that at some point, one of the smuggling rings is going to send hitmen after us.

[yormama]

They might. But between everyone here, I don't think we'll have too much to worry about. There are plenty of people who can go toe-to-toe with such ruffians.

[likemybooks]

And we have a massive base. We're practically in a castle fortress.

[yormama]

Precisely! I don't think we have much to worry about in that regard.
