[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"?

...Leaders? Hmm... In general, leaders are kind, brave people that command a great deal of respect from their people... Their every word is obeyed. It doesn't matter if their followers are out of love or fear, because they're respected either way.

As for elves, um... Most thing I know are only from fiction books... Beautiful, noble, intelligent people who usually keep to themselves and have a strong dislike of humans. They're usually skilled archers or healers, and the one who joins the hero on his quest is either a snarky, pessimistic archer who turns out to be an anti-hero, or a pretty healer who's either the hero's love interest or one of the other party memebers'.

[...]

Party members? Anti-hero? [The leader part makes sense. The beginning part of elves actually makes a lot of sense.

...The rest of it...]

[voice] you're much too kind ////

Well, they're always out to save the world in fantasy, right? And they're usually a party... Five or six, I guess, with four main characters being the driving point of the story... An anti-hero is like someone who appear antagonistic and, if they're in the party in the beginning they'll usually defect to the evil side for a bit before going back over some moral conflict... At least, that's how I've always seen it. They're not your typical hero character, I guess, is the short way to explain it.

[...] Huh? [Nope. Not even a little.]

[This is why we refrain from talking to people who don't read --]

It's not really important anyway. Why did you want to know, if you don't mind my asking?

[You know. About elves and leaders and stuff.]

[tsuntrader]

[If he says so...]

Curiosity. [It's not a lie, but not the complete truth.]

[voice]

[subsultive]

I'm sure there are a lot of books in the library on the subject, so if your curiosity isn't sated with everyone else's accounts you could check those out.
