very important for elf characters to freak the fuck out about the aging difference thing and pre-grieve like crazy and scream themself hoarse with denial when they canβt stop death itself and they still look the same as when they met the frail aged body thatβs going cold beneath their touch and eventually settle into a numbness that theyβll call acceptance but they never really let anyone get as close as they did in the first century of their life unless they know theyβre going to stick around as long as they will
βwhy are elves so snobby and exclusive and cut-off from everyone elseβ befriending you means theyβll end up burying you and your children and your grandchildren and theyβll still be young. exactly how many times do you think you could choose to do that. if you live through enough centuries, eventually you run out of days in the year to visit each grave.
