“If I started training now, would I be able to fight like her when I'm her age?”
“I don't see why not. Sixty years of good solid training is enough to turn anyone into a tidy little scrapper."
”What?"
”What what?"
”Sixty years? How old is she?"
”I’d say seventy if she's a day."
Stephanie stared. "Right," she said firmly, "it's time for you to tell me how you people live so long."
”Diet and exercise."
”Skulduggery—"
”Clean healthy living."
”I swear..."
”Magic then."
She looked at him. "Do all sorcerers live forever?"
”Not forever, no. Not even close to forever. We do age, it's just we do it slower than the rest of humanity. The regular use of a certain amount of magic rejuvenates the body, keeps it young.”
