Centuries! And at least several, from the sound of it? How fascinating. I have never met someone so long-lived before.

[It seems fantastic, but the man doesn't give him the impression of lying, and Blathers is the sort to believe what's given to him, anyway, unless he has something to directly refute it. He doesn't question it, just finds himself rocking back and forth from one foot to the other excitedly.]

I can only imagine what it must be like to spend so long witnessing the evolution of shorter-lived creatures.
