That is why we will be there to help. Don't underestimate him just because he is a kid. A lot of those we would call 'kids' here have done amazing things.

[Xion and Ken just to name two...]

[keybearer]

True. Back when I started my journey, I was still only fifteen-- a kid by most people's standards. Plus, I guess if you really want to get technical, Zo's older than a lot of us.

[...At least, that's always the impression he got from the admins.]

[oathshackledbird]

In some ways, he sure seems that way, doesn't he?

[It's an odd dichotomy Diarmuid has noticed even in just the few encounters he has had with Zo. For all intents and purposes he seems a child, but then sometimes there are those odd glimpses of something older. He honestly has no way to explain it.]

I wonder if he is something like what my people would call an old soul or if it is just the environment that has forced him to grow up faster than he should have had to.

[Or both.]
