Quote #4
"When I return with her heart, there will be years aplenty for all of us," she said, eyeing her sisters' hairy chins and hollow eyes with disfavor. (3.92)
The witch-queen promises to return with the fallen star's heart so she and her sisters can share the youth it'll give them. Until then, the two stay-at-home Lilim are stuck being old while the witch-queen takes the last of the youth out with her into the world. It seems like the witch-queen isn't a fan of old age in general from the way she looks at her elderly sisters.
Quote #5
"So there's some young lady. Has she sent you here to seek your fortune? That used to be very popular. You'd get young fellers wanderin' all over, looking for the hoard of gold that some poor wyrm or ogre had taken absolute centuries to accumulate." (4.43)
When Tristran attempts to describe the wondrous beauty of Victoria Forester to the hairy little man, his interpretation is that she'd sent Tristran on a lover's errand to get rid of him. It's not actually that far off the mark. And apparently it's pretty common for young love struck fools to wander into Faerie, seeking their fortune, and stuff like that. Sounds like these young folks could've used better hobbies.
Quote #6
"The heart of a star, is it? […] I shall taste enough of it that my youth will come back, and my hair turn from grey to golden, and my dugs swell and soften and become firm and high." (5.84)
Turns out that Madame Semele is really excited about this star business. She, too, can't wait to be young again, to have her hair fill in and turn from grey to gold. She's also pretty excited about her breasts looking youthful once more, too. Not sure why she's so fixated on that in particular, but hey, to each her own.
