WESSEX
Wessex knows she’s able to take quirks like people being over three hundred years old in stride, because there were a couple of Ascended already who were far older than she was - 108 (a number, only, the year she Ascended) and Kristopher, who was… well, she can’t remember, but it was older than she was.
Something thrills her a bit - probably just being able to shock them when not much seems to shock her - and she smiles out of the corner of her mouth a bit. “At least three hundred and twelve. Not certain of the specifics, I’m not really one to ask about exact ages.” Dipping her head, she pauses a moment before looking back up at them.
“The first war is a longer story, though. It’s what caused the barrier, the Grounds’ isolation - the Old Gods’ first attempt at wiping out the Ascended and getting rid of the Voice. And they couldn’t succeed then, so now they want to try again. At least that’s the short version.”
Something changes in her and she seems a bit sadder now, even though she's been talking about the war for seasons now, and with multiple people, the prospect of it doesn't change her dismay about it. Sometimes her resilience cracks.
