No, it's really not.

That's the bitch of everything really.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

Do you think it should be?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Do you have any children?

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

I have a son, yes.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

You ever talk to them about death? Nothing worse for me than looking at my kids and telling them that I won't be here forever.

Sometimes...he's tried, more than once, to kill himself. It's...hard.

I know. My oldest is immortal. It's so hard trying to make her understand that dad won't be there all her life like other kids get.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

How old is she?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Complicated. In years two or three but she's already adult looking if that makes sense.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

.....Not really?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

She ages about six years in appearance for every year she's alive. Least to this point. Now she won't age unless she chooses to.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

How old does she look?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Early twenties.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

So she's....almost 4?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

No she's two. She started at 6 or 7.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

....Wow. And I thought Sidhe children aged oddly.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

How do they age? Snake was very curious.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

It's strange because time runs so differently in Faerie than here, but we age much more slowly, and even when we seem fully grown, physically, we are often treated as children until we've at least seen our first millennia. *shrugs* Most would consider me still a child. My older sister is 1000 years older. That my son is only 60 years younger...it makes us far more like siblings in our family's eyes and undercuts my authority with him a lot.

Hmmm. Does your body age at the normal pace or is that slower too?

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

If compared to time here, you would say it was slower, though for us it does not seem that way at home.
