"Who says I'm an elf? I think I'm a Vulcan or a Romulan."
"A Vulcan? Is that a kind of rubber?"
"No, silly," said Jon, "it's from Star Trek."
"Feh, I never watched that. Besides that series ended when I was little. You can't be one of those anyway--they're fictional!"
"And," replied Jon, "elves aren't? Maybe I'm a Romulan/elven hybrid. That would explain why I'm short--I wouldn't be as short as a full elf, but I'd be shorter than a human."
Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Or a Romulan/drow hybrid."
"I haven't the faintest idea what a drow is."
"It's a dark elf."
"So say 'dark elf'."
"It doesn't matter, Sarah. You can't diagnose being an elf from pointy ears. I could be turning into Yoda. I think he's got pointed ears. Or various video game characters.... Hmm, I know. I'm a Hylian. from Zelda. They're a little like elves but they're not called elves." He glanced at something written on the side. "Ah, that must be it. Pointed ears, green tunic, lives in forests..."
