Sometimes she acts SO out of age...!

Gifting another person things which you yourself would like is something 4 years old kids usually do... ( ̄∇ ̄") Her bringing leaves, flowers and now a stone to him... Kids start doing that at age 1 (or some months later)

I'm sure these years with her "mother" influenced her development, but she's a preteen; now 13 years old.

Sorry, just needed that to be said. It's cute though. Even if it doesn't feel quite right.

    Um remember she did just go through a horrifying experience where she was tortured and all....that can easily regress someones age among other things, also..i feel like being in her situation would produce all sort of weird reactions.

    Is that really weird?
    I still bring pretty stones I found to show/give my loved ones and my mom brought me a huge maple leaf the other day. It was dinner plate sized and deep red. Very impressive. And I'm 33.
    Simple gifts don't make bad ones.
    Besides, that's a spirit stone. It valuable and matches his sword aura. It'll probably be useful to him.

    True this too! My Mum and Dad still collect cool looking stones/shells etc and bring them home to show me and keep...it's like a magpie thing to collect pretty looking things lol

    Tbh,I got a collection of these things too. Forgot that and its kinda different to read about e person doing that. *hides...
    Sorry, my coment came off more factual and critical than I wanted...

    Of course, Estelle went through a lot AND it is cute ^^

    I thought it might explain why some people fuss about the (small) age difference. Her actions make her seem younger than she actually is.

    its ok sorry if i sounded a bit rude too, just all these characters never mind their 'apparent' age all seem to act younger than they are anyway, but to me it seems natural given all the crap they have been through, but also just the art style makes them all seem so much younger than they are so i do personally forget their ages all the time which is another reason it doesn't tend to get to me.

    It's ok, didn't sound rude to me. ^ ^
    More like your coment made me realize I fell into my working mode... Studying kid's development while reading in my free time *hides. Instead of just enjoying a lovely story (❀╹◡╹❀)
