    How long’s it been? A week? A month? No, seriously, time is entirely a construct of mortal perception and I can’t wrap my head around it.

    I’ve always assumed that Marigold is a young adult in Unicorn years

    I think Marigold would be early twenties in Unicorn years.

    Is Dana trying to keep us from knowing Ferny’s gender on purpose? I don’t know what kind of voice I should have for Ferny in my head.

    No, though with long lives you tend to go through the levels longer than humans would. Ferny is equivalent to Phoebe but much much older in years. Their 9 is longer than our 9 just as we are to dogs and cats.

    It’s like the temporal situation with Cara and Lightfoot in Bruce Coville’s “The Unicorn Chronicles.” She was a teenager, and when she asked Lightfoot how old he was, he answered, “Old by your standards, quite young by ours.” When she asked him for a more specific answer, he said, “While I am slightly more than a hundred years old, by my people’s standards I am what they might call a teenager.”

    How old is the forest’s median-aged tree, though?
