When does one become, no longer a teenager, but an adult? I heard the drinking of wine will in the future be restricted to those older than eighteen, so does wine make an adult?

And what other licenses are given to someone with eighteen years? I should like to try them all.

I was thinking of something a lot more elegant.

[heloise]

Like a song?

[whichwayyoulean]

[Like a scarf, but oh hey he likes that idea even better]

You'll have to wait and see.

[heloise]

Make sure to wrap it in a bow.

[whichwayyoulean]

Any colour preference on the bow?

[heloise]

Red. Or gold.

[whichwayyoulean]

Great. I'll work on it while I'm out here.

[heloise]

I can hardly wait!

Are you also working on collecting good deeds?

[whichwayyoulean]

[Ugh no. HOMEWORK]

...I can work on that on the trip?

[heloise]

There are many people to practice on.

[whichwayyoulean]

Yeah, sure I guess there are.

[He'll start with the Queen of England, is that okay, Lulu?]

[heloise]

[ EXCELLENT. ]

How has it been? I heard it can be dangerous.

[whichwayyoulean]

Pretty quiet right now, nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

...It will, though. It's just a matter of time.

[heloise]

I have never thought of you as a soldier.

[whichwayyoulean]

A soldier? Me? Oh heck no, I#m more the running away very fast kind.

[heloise]

Then I wish you the quickest feet.

[whichwayyoulean]

Thanks, I think I'll need them at some point.

[heloise]

I should have lent you my horse.

[whichwayyoulean]

It's okay, I think my legs juuuust might be long enough that I won't need one.

[heloise]

Quite right. Almost as long as my horse's.

[whichwayyoulean]

You know, some people might take that as an insult.

[His tone suggests he is not some people]

[heloise]

[ Oh good, she likes special people. ]

To be able to run as fast as horses? That is the highest compliment.

[whichwayyoulean]

That would make a great greeting card message.

[heloise]

Greeting cards?

[whichwayyoulean]

Yeah, they're these little cards people send each other for all kinds of occasions: birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, new jobs. Things like that.
