Timeline-wise he probably was an adult by the time that happened. *edit* whoop I got beat to the punch ;w; We don't get much about ghoul children in this book but Kiril should definitely be at least be in his twenties when Irina's seventeen. Unless mothy's going to introduce accelerated growing and Irina was made a teen prior to being delivered to the Clockworker doorstep. Kind of a shame we get only a few references to her in this book.

Nothing to do with envy and, as it's later explained, she has a very different purpose for taking these clothes (unfortunately for Kai).
