【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第十九章：时光 Time(16)
“Isarae?” Alessandra began softly.
“Hm?”
“How… old are you?”
I chuckled at that. “Truthfully, I am uncertain,” I admitted. “Biologically I am in the prime of my life,” or I was, at least, “but chronologically is a different matter… by your reckoning I suppose I am close to six thousand of your standard years.”
Alessandra stiffened noticeably under my arm, and I laughed again.
“Aeldari lifespans are highly variable, and the Druchii don’t age at all so long as they slake their Thirst,” I explained. “Now, perhaps, you can understand why life has grown so wearisome for me.”
“That’s…” Alessandra relaxed again under my touch and nestled a little closer to me. “Where were you born?”
“The sewers of Commorragh, I think, that was where I spent my first century at any rate,” I chewed my lip as I tried to recall. It had been a very long time ago. “I was a slave for many centuries after that, first for pleasure, then for combat.”
My early years were a blur of narcotics and violence, and I tried to pin down the major events as they occurred with only passing success.
