Elves are, but I'm a half-elf. I only age a little slower than humans. [but a decade or five more than most humans get is probably reasonable.]
I don't understand how any of you could feel you know anything about the type of person I am. [she doesn't mean that in a "you don't know me" way, just, it's wild to her because she has no idea who she is or what type of person she is. if anything, she's flattered mizu thinks this, but doubtful] I don't even have memories that go back longer than months. Just vague things, and most of them - I doubt I've ever done anything worthwhile, or fought for anything that mattered, in all that time I had. [other than fighting for herself in that she lived through it.] The decades I've had were spent doing cruel and awful things for no other reason than I was told to do so, so I think stagnation is precisely the sort of thing I'm inclined to.
[fuck it, though, she feels that pang and she will just say something even if it's pushy, and even if not one single time she has tried to argue with mizu on something he is stubborn about has it worked.]
It simply didn't take much time at all, of letting myself hear other people's wishes for me, before I started to consider whether something else was possible. And I don't particularly think I am qualified to be giving anyone life advice, but I must think that in all this time you have at least wondered whether there are other paths for you, even if you haven't taken the leap to consider trying to find one. [then again she has literally never had to test any of this resolve in the real world and maybe she will step outside and fall on her face immediately.]
