It's starting to look like Respect and Acceptance = a longer life. Laid back and lazy For The Win!

S'not necessarily the truth, but there does seem to be a certain pattern. I suppose those who live by the unist philosophy might just have more experience/knowledge to apply to when they hunt/run away.

Huh, he's doin' well.

Oh yeah. Old, but gold X3

He may have meant it a little too well? Meant what?

The mating. With almost 80 offspring to his name, he's spread his relatives to just about everywhere and plenty of them are in Morning Light and of various generations.

He might be a better match for Nelle.

Aside from the obvious experience, how d'you figure so?

I'm just musing. It seems like she could really benefit from his wisdom. It it seems like his kids already love her. XD

Sure, the younger bunny's a flash in the pan, but Nilibo has some REAL substance to him. Could be that I value that experience and that substance more highly.

Oh he could definitely give her a few pointers on life and other things X3

I can't fault you for preferring the experience and considering he's gotten to turn 9 years old, both his experience and his body seem to be worth the commitment.

Daaaang... 79 offspring? Busy bunny! :)

Nice one!

There's a reason it's called multiplying like rabbits :b

He looks so relaxed and cute on this one. All he's missing is the stereotypical wheat stem or grass blade in his mouth :D

I was considering it, but Nele already had the coneflower thing going in her character sheet.

Do what you need to do. We'll be here when you have time to start it up again.

Heh, glad to hear it =^-^=

What a cute bunnloaf.

I somehow get the feeling that he is one of the characters to dramatically die when the setup for the world is finally over and some more meatier plot rolls along. After all, he has those qualities of an wise old mentor figure, you know? xD

Heh, I have two of those now. We'll see which one of thme kicks the bucket first Xb

Every old wise guy in any story is just in such a danger.

They are just so easy to kill off. They have one important purpose in the narrative, introducing an important concept to the audience proxy or doing the exposition and then ... yeah, what are you going to do with them then? Either not include them anymore in the ongoing narative or kill them off for dramatic reasons. I guess that's the main reason why that "kill off the old mentor figure" is such a famous writing clichee xD

That's very true. Although Nele is currently in the aforementioned position of having said concept explained to her, I will try to avoid falling into clichés X3

Some tropes though exist for a reason. I mean, that's why everyone mostly uses an outsider as the main character, so they don't know shit and need everything explained to them. Just easier for the audience, since they need the info too. And Nele is fittign right into that trope. But again, it's a good trope, otherwise things would just get confusing.

And when it comes to old mentor figures dying ... well, again, what are you suppose to do with them after they are done with their one purpose for the narrative? I certainly haven't found a really good role for them to play after the exposition is done. I would be hella interested though to see if you can come up with something : D

He might become Obi Wan Bunnobi?

I desperately try to think of a bunny pun with "Use the force, Nele", but I can't think of any!

An adorable, ultimate survivor~

Aye, he's obviously used all the right tricks in life ...

Everfrost Peak? Someone misses Diddy Kong Racing.
(Its okay, we all do)

It seems Nilibo is quite the stud.

Well, theoretically he's probably pretty mild for lead buck, I mean, rabbits are pretty damn fertile.

Wow, long and productive life.

Aye, he's shared freely and openly ;D

" Nilibo is ridiculously old for a wild rabbit." Typical wild lifespans being what, then? <1y?

Pretty much. In an environment of active predation their lifespan tends to be less than a year, two if they're lucky.
Most rabbits in captivity live for up to 10 years, though 5-6 is more common from what I know. According to wikipedia, the oldest rabbit on record was a domestic from Tasmania at age 18.
