"Hm. Perhaps so. I'm not remotely your age, but I know how these things get picked up." Though it was almost more deliberate among her friends: a collection of memes, in-jokes made relevant through force of repetition and pertinent situations. She almost regrets there are no stairs in this room to warn him about.
Then nodding, she says, "Yes. Dave Strider, if you've met him? I mentioned him before when the time discussion came up, though his thing is more jumping around, making loops, things like that, and whatever other powers he's accrued past the point our benevolent masters chose to pluck me from like an underripe grape." Not that she's bitter or anything.
"It used to be that he was only a day my senior, but now he has a span of a few years. He's probably wondering where I am now."
She doesn't sound regretful of sneaking off, though. She got to meet Merlyn and obtain some knitting needles, and that was more than she hoped for. But just the same she shows no great mourning. It's no pleasure in being here, not in the least, but there's little she can do about it just yet.
