what is with the ages of the adults in assassins apprentice. it’s mentioned that fitz was conceived when chiv was 20ish which means at the start of assassins apprentice:
chivalry is 26/27
burrich as his peer is like 25-30
verity is likely 25 or younger
shrewd (introduced to us as an old OLD man) is again MAX 50 if we assume he’s kept to the same heir-producing timeline he wanted chiv to keep to. which we have no reason not to assume
patience is probably like 23-25?? we know she’s younger than chivalry and he didn’t start courting her for “years” after fitz was conceived. which means point number two HOW is she already considered barren and soooo overdue for a child when at the start of the novel when ppl start saying that she’s only been married to chiv for like 4-5 years and he’s canonically traveling away from her for a lot of that time. i guess it’s awhile in Royal Years but what.
and all of these people when they’re introduced are supposed to be Seasoned Adults. i know you start apprenticing much younger in ye olden fantasy land but jesus christ. i literally thought burrich was 40 the way he was described turns out mans my age. oldest 26yo of all time
