So here’s a swerve. Well might you have been concerned about Syr’Nj getting paired off with some sexually ravenous alpha who had no appreciation for her mind. You’d be mostly right, but Gr’Zl’s real desires lie elsewhere, as the passage at the bottom spells out fairly explicitly.
Remember what I said about the family getting involved when the kids don’t seem to be taking an interest in the opposite sex? Well, that goes both ways. Surely a handsome, athletic elf like Gr’Zl could have won a girl’s interest on his own by now if he wasn’t so… “disinterested in woman things.” That doesn’t mean Syr’Nj is exactly safe, though…
Naror’Nj looks somewhat regretful as he contemplates “Nature guiding” his daughter “from there,” but it’s more like a father’s regret as he has to let go of his little girl and let her become a woman. Wood elf society’s limited imagination means that it tends to assume sexual unions will be entirely mutual, once Nature takes its hand.
He likes squirrels, but he doesn’t like girls.
Your avi adds some…odd meaning to this.
So elf society isn’t all that different from troll after all.
Anyone got “Assainb’lt”? I don’t think “ass in bolt” is a sensible phrase.
Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt, I’d expect.
And again, I feel like an idiot for only bringing this up now….
…”B’ial Vezk”?
Aaand blockquote fail. Again:
I first parsed it as “Shakespeare”.
