[Deedlit is actually thinking about how much they seem to be alike, though they are from completely different places.]

That's very true. But if they keep going as they are, they'll find their demise. I'm 160 years old and even I can see that. Or maybe they can't because they have so many years to them...

[It was only a matter of time before someone--or something--found the power to get through the barrier. Just because something hadn't yet didn't mean it wouldn't. Deedlit sighs heavily.]

Well I'm not one of those who would say that. Though I can appreciate your stubbornness in trying to make me wary.
