Also -- given that I have her not knowing what her "True" age is because she joined the fae and time got a little weird for her after that (like partially it's fae time and partially it's her hanging around fae so much slowed her aging process). We could easily have them be former peers or something and then it all went to hell? So while Pearl might physically look younger than him, they could be teh same age or she could even be older than him?
