Written script for NPC's and sudden use of contractions

Eccentric young coot, really. He's only 29.

I'll have to double-check the script later. I have a feeling there was a "you" in there as well but it was when he was speaking Fae, and not enough script to see if the subtitles were keeping his usual way of speaking or just translating into modern English.

Wellllll he was supposed to be ancient, somehow tied to Allag, but SE scraped that completely really early on.

Honestly, unless the setting is old England, trying to sound like non-modern English just doesn't sound right to me. In fact, as someone who lives in the US, I also prefer more medieval/fantasy setting to have US English accent, though I'm not against the British accent as well.

Using modern and non-colloquial words is also preferable to me.
