But you might be able to count it from when he started being the first person I'd go to with things, just to have him tell stories about them and spend time with him. Or from when he had to leave the Rock with his family because his father wanted to marry him off to a princess. He said he'd avoid marrying any of them because I didn't want him to. He called me his gloves too, that day. But then he was gone for more than a year. I don't think I would count it from when we saw each other again, because he'd been turned into a rat and I didn't know it was him for a while. At the very latest, though, it would be when we told each other we loved each other in the Sorceress's tower. So.. At least a few mo-- Well. A year or so, if you count my time here. Add another year and a bit, or a couple more years, depending on which one you pick."
