Fourteen, maybe? Though now that I think of it, that's about the same as Hugo, but he at least had an idea of how to fight. As for Thomas, fifteen, I think. He was handed the place in hopes he'd never bother his big trader council father again or something, sent out to the middle of nowhere like that.

[ He's not sure why he's adding in all the details like that. Normally he wouldn't! But he's woozy and blind and who cares if someone knows about Thomas anyway. He'll give the water another try before eventually just grimacing and holding it away from him.

Which is to say she should probably take it away before he drops it (not that he would mean to). ]
