My apologies for the confusion and my rather uncouth behavior, Mademoiselle. [Even though he was probably nicer to her than he was anybody else.]

Upon my graduation, one thing that I requested was to be given a bit of my youth back. For all intents and purposes I appear some twenty to twenty-five years younger than I was at my actual demise.

Still a man getting on in his years, to be sure. It only does so much to improve, ugly mortal that I am.
