[Luke is already up and running around when the feed snaps on. He's got bright red hair and a long white coat, opened to show a red gem at his collarbone.]

Hey! Is anyone here? Can anyone hear me? I'm-- uh, I think I'm trapped! Hello?

[Wait, there's a red light and some kind of screen! He rushes over, not really recognizing this kind of technology but he'll take it. The stuff in the ranches was a lot like this, just less polished.]

There has to be a way... Maybe I can pull up a map? What would Jade do... Wait, I know! [He smashes a LOT OF BUTTONS. And turns the feed off in the process.

Oops.]

I see...

[This is definitely interesting, and very different from what he's grown up with in the Church of Martel.]

Humans don't have magic, but elves and half-elves do. Other than that, they're about the same... aside from the lifespan thing.

[nerdeology]

I've heard a little about elves... they live for a very long time, don't they? The one I met had been alive for thousands of years.

[takehisplace]

I'm not sure how long they live since I've never met one. Half-elves can live for a few hundred, maybe longer.

Where did you meet an elf?

[nerdeology]

On the Huntress. He's part of my crew.

He might be a different kind of elf, though. A few hundred years seems too short, going by what he was saying.

[takehisplace]

I can't imagine living that long. Is he really old and wise? Does he have a beard that reaches the floor?

[LUKE NO]

[nerdeology]

[PFFFT]

He doesn't right now, though one's fashion can change a lot over the course of thousands of years, I bet. Maybe I'll ask him.

But actually, he didn't look older than thirty or so.

[takehisplace]

[Meet Luke, he's embarrassing as hell.]

Oh, yeah! Maybe he used to have a big bushy one and he shaved it off when it was out of fashion.

I guess that's to be expected, even if he's a really old elf.

[nerdeology]

I have a feeling that once you reach a certain age, fashion becomes less of a priority.

[Though Lailah fussed about it plenty when the subject came up... maybe she was the outlier. A lot of things about her were pretty unique.]
