[That's pretty cute, actually. For the first time in months, Stanley cracks a little bit of a smile. It's nice, to do something for someone and have them appreciate it. It makes it totally worthwhile, even if somewhere the ghost of a librarian wants his balls on a platter.]
It's all good.
[Now, if he can just manage not to embarass her by asking about her ears...]
Are you like a fairy or something?
[...Damn it.]

[she blinks, then stares at him for a long moment.
. . . then bursts into laughter, genuinely amused and a little relieved, too]
While I am touched you would mistaken me for one, no. I'm a half-elf. [she reaches up to push some hair away from her ear so he can get a better look]

[He leans down a little, to check it out. His own hair falls in his face when he does, and he has to stop and blow it out of the way first. But yep, those sure are some pointy ears. Cool.]
Cool.
Cool.
That sucks.
[It's not exactly eloquent, but it's a genuine response. He studies the ears again for a moment, and shrugs.]
They're nice. We like them.

Open it up. Take a look. Maybe you can tell me what it means when you finish it, because it's like a foreign fucking language to me.
[It's sweet, but he doesn't want to draw out her reaction, so he changes the subject to something less personal.]

Kings and elves and stuff I guess. Seriously, I don't really understand it.
Uh, no. Why would I bring you that? Shakespeare's been dead since my great grandmotger's great great grandmother was a baby or something. That's why I thought it'd make you feel at home.
You too? Man, they always tell us it's just how English was.
Where I am from, you only see that sort of language in older texts - and religious texts, for that matter. Human ones, anyway. [she hums thoughtfully to herself] I do not think there is even an equivalent in my own language. If there is, I do not know it.
Seriously? That was huge in your time on earth. Huh.
Nah, it was everyone. Not just religious texts. Guess elf world is just different.
No way, what's strange is using it only for religious texts. Talk about a specific reason to invent a language, right?
