Birdie thought about how she would couch her last question to Pio. Asking an Elf his or her actual age was considered to be rather "bad form". They might hint at their age in general terms, or speak of events in the ancient past that they had witnessed, but Bird had never heard an Elf say "Today is my 7,356th birthday."

The best that Bird could finally come up with was:

Uh, Pio...? When you finally get the chance to walk in Beleriand, is there a chance that you might already BE there?"
