| I think the Drizzt/Cattie Brie romance is creepy. Maybe not mentally but hes a lot older physically than she is. And he kind of was like an older brother or cousin to her for a long time. |

| Well considering that Drizzt is only 150 or so which is roughly a quarter of his life span that would put what roughly @ 25-30 in human years? And Cattie-brie is closer to 40 now (3.5e) i would have to say that it is her being the cougar here. |

Why? Its not that difficult to have a relationship with age difference. Neither to get intimate with friends. I should know. The question of future mortality would probably be a bigger worry.
Then again, I don't follow the Drizzt series, so I have little to go on when it comes to this particular case. |

Seconded, on both counts. I don't think either issue is "a big deal" at all. |

His age that's something else. Me personally I think that it's a little weird to date anyone who isn't your age or a year older/younger, but my town does have a lot of people so maybe that why. Drizzt always seemed like her uncle more than a friend. That is the weird part. |

Minor quibble: by my personal calculations, Drizzt was probably born in 1298 DR, and The Pirate King ended in early 1377 DR. That would make him roughly 79 years old.
Cat appears to have been born in late summer of 1334 DR, which would make her 42 years old in TPK. There have been conflicting age clues for her which would indicate slightly younger ages for her, but the earliest and greatest number of consistent age clues support this age. At any rate, yeah, she's the cougar here.

By my calculations, Drizzt came to Icewind Dale and met young Cat in late 1345 DR (Sojourn). In The Halfling's Gem, late 1356 DR, Cat hints to Drizzt that there might have been a relationship between the two if he had just paid closer attention before Wulfgar worked his mojo. So Drizzt only had the "big brother" vibe in Cat's eyes for less than 11 years. There's been chemistry between them for much longer than that, since then.
We don't really even know when Cat first started digging on the bescimitared one. But it's reasonable to speculate that she could've started thinking of him differently sometime during her early teen years (1347 onward), just before Wulfgar ever came along (late 1350 DR, in The Crystal Shard). He met her when she was aged 11 in 1345 DR, so Drizzt might've had the big bro vibe for only a couple of years in her eyes, for all we know.
It would've been creepy for them back when she was young. But it ain't creepy now... |

Well there's more than enough people around me also, but I think we will just have to agree to disagree on this subject. In my opinion its weird to let anything like that get in the way of feelings. If both are adults and both are into the idea, its the most natural thing in the world. |
