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.

Happy birthday, Lucrezia. I'll make you something while I'm out here. [It will be a surprise]

As for the age thing, I think you can learn to drive a car, too.

[It's rare that Steph writes in the journal, but she's not exactly sure what her tone would convey.]

Happy birthday.

Your name day? [ And he is off keeping Arya from falling into ditches. ] Will you celebrate?

[ofhope]

I bought a cake and dug into it with a giant wolf for my eighteenth.

[ The most civilized loner ever, really. ]

But I think my nineteenth was better.

I'M SORRY

You could always go to an adult store.

In America, you get to buy lottery tickets when you're eighteen. And cigarettes. [and porn but he still thinks of her as being like fourteen??? so he's not saying that.]

Happy Birthday, Lucrezia.

I dunno. Drinking age where I come from is 21. At 18 we can buy smokes, vote, gamble and join the military.

Exciting, right? [So deadpan]

Happy Birthday, Lucrezia.

You know, I had the same question when I turned 18. I wondered if I was supposed to... feel "more adult", but I did not.

When you learn how to kill, I'd imagine.
