[There's nothing better to do after three days out in the cold and a chat with your best friend than to stare at your journal and idly contemplate whether or not interacting with People sounds like a good enough idea.

But something's on his mind. Or, well, a few somethings, but it's persistently sticking there enough to be worth asking.

To the journal.]

Could anyone tell me about leaders? [Well that's vague. ...Whatever.]

[...]

And while I'm here, what are elves? [...] And what's "tsun"?

Elves don't exist back at home. I have no idea what they are.

[tinyhealer]

Are you human?

[Written]

[tsuntrader]

Yeah.

[Written]

[tinyhealer]

... Okay.

Anyway, from what I've been able to read here, not all worlds have elves residing in them, and some of the ones that do are described differently from what I'm familiar with.

[tsuntrader]

[...Man, that's gonna make it really hard to figure out the big deal.]

What are the ones you're familiar with like?

[Written]

[tinyhealer]

The short version is that they mostly keep to themselves, in their private village, with little interest of the world outside of it. They live longer than humans. ... Much longer. They also have the ability to sense mana, and use magic.

[Written]

[tsuntrader]

They isolate, can get really old, do magic stuff, and sense things.

Is that it?

[tinyhealer]

... in a physical sense, I suppose so. You really won't understand the rest unless you meet one. ... And I don't think any of them are here. Not full

Why?

[Written]

[tsuntrader]

[...Huh.]

I don't know. I guess I thought that there would be some bigger distinction. [But no, they're... Glorified humans with some other name and magic, from the sound of it.]

[Written]

[tinyhealer]

Well... you said you didn't know about them before. How did you hear about them?

[Written]

[tsuntrader]

From someone here. It's not fair to them if I say any more than that.

[Written]

[tinyhealer]

... but you're asking a question like this broadly. How is that any different?

[Written]

[tsuntrader]

I'm not drawing attention to them.

[Written]

[tinyhealer]

If you say so...

[Written]

[tsuntrader]

[He does. There's a big difference between "what's this guy's beef" and "what's this species".

...But he should still say-] Thanks. [For the answer.]

[Written]

[tinyhealer]

You're welcome. I hope it helped somehow.
