Age gaps don't matter so much for adults because their prefrontal cortexes are fully developed (or nearly, for those in their early 20s. There are reasons why you're not allowed to rent a car before 25), so besides what they get from experience there's not much that age really changes. And because elves don't age like humans do, a couple in their 40s in the elven world might not be that different from a couple in their 90s. The only point where it probably would start to matter is if you were as ancient as, say, Fallon Vacker, and the weight of all your years were finally starting to pull at you. Someone like him probably wouldn't feel very up to marrying a young and spritely 100 year old elf.

Huh, that feels weird to say.

Maybe Alden and Della were a hundred years apart, but I'm kinda doubting a 115 year old Alden probably was dating a 15 year old Della.

Idk, that's just what I think.
