[Her face drew tight, as though the words Grey Warden pained her, and they did. She did not know the word Blight, however, nor had she heard of a tainted dragon before this, not in such clear terms. Her brow pinched in grief but she pushed it away; sorrow did no one service, not here, not now. Adelaide's fingers brushed her own and Galadriel opened her eyes again.
The human remained at her side, but she was uneasy. Galadriel listened to her questions, broad and specific as they respectively were, and tilted her head slightly as she considered her answers. Explaining the former was difficult, even without any idea what a maleficar might be, but the latter was simpler...for a given measure of simplicity.]
I do not know how long an age of Thedas is, but I have lived for more than three of Arda's ages.
[It took some concentration to translate the calendars into one another. She had no idea how long a year was, here, if it was the same or if it differed, but it made little difference. A few days would compound, of course, but hours and days lost meaning so quickly.... She frowned slightly before she spoke.]
It is hard to say, I do not know how time is marked here, but I was born well before the days of dawn. [Her gaze was curious as she leveled it at Adelaide. She had revealed this before, but only to a few, and each had their own reactions. None were enough to guide her.] I think it is fifteen, perhaps sixteen thousand years by the calendars of men?
