"The girls who have had children are already down on the list," he assured her. It was already more than he wanted, to be honest, but he knew changes like this couldn't happen overnight. It would take time, and at this point it was hard to know just how things would turn out. This was the first time trying something like this.
"25 is a little young for blanket admission," he said afterwards. "Nirinath's cycle is every three turns. She's closing in one one turn since her last flight, so I'd say 27." He spoke calmly, trying not to intimidate Jada. He wanted her to be a part of the process, but he wasn't going to coddle her and let her get her way all the time.
"27 and older ensures that veryone gets at least one more chance before the unofficial age cutoff," he reasoned. He'd probably take 26, if Jada wanted to argue with him. "After Krypth rises the second time, it'll be easier to work out the numbers."
That brought up an interesting question. "Hm. I do wonder how old is too old to Impress a dragon," he mused. He preferred younger candidates; younger people were more adaptive to the massive mental changes that came with Impression. Beggars couldn't be choosers, but candidate ages were something he was interested in experimenting with in the future, when things would be easier.
He had some big plans. He hoped everyone could hold on just a little bit longer while he put them into motion.
