I tried to have it so that he was still a young child when he was sent off, he was older than Odette. As the story (( The dreamworks version )) goes she was taken by Rothbart when she was 14; he was 16. Meaning that they would have met the second time when he was about 5 and she was 3. Unless I change it so that he was taken when he was 3, she would have been 1. I just thought that they should have at least another meeting before they disappeared out of one another's lives. However, I can change it if I must.
