I suppose congratulations are in order? You finally managed to track down icons where I, as you put it, "look cute". I'd not see any issue with how I looked before.

Alas it's nice to be clean shaved once more. Razors are hard to come by when on foot. Besides, weapons and food had much higher priority.


Why am I even trying to explain myself?

Gods! You're terrible.

Should a Man "look cute"? [Sorry, Elf is skeptical.]

[duxducis]

It's usually the women that shall look cute. Not men. We are usually described as handsome or sexy, two qualities I'd possess and is proud about. Alas my Scribe prefer the lesser fair sex. Hence the use of the word. I disagree but it's like arguing with Zeus that Ganymede wasn't cute.

I do not know this...Zeus? Or Ganymede for that matter. For my people, the males can be as fair as the females, however that is not so for the Men I have encountered.

I would call them...rugged and handsome.

Zeus, or Jupiter as the Romans call him, was the king of the gods. Ganymede, a prince of Troy was considered to be the most beautiful of all men and as such Zeus desired him. So he turned into a falcon and plopped Ganymede right out of the sky. He was granted immortality and lived in Olympus as Zeus cupbearer. Eventually being put among the stars because Hera grew jealous of his relation with her husband Zeus.

You're not human? Are you a nymph? A forest sprite?

I'm not sure I can agree with us all being rugged. The aristocrats goes to great lenghts to appear clean and fair.

[These gods and goddesses are strange to him and he frowns, trying to understand. Well, points for creativity. He smirks at the guesses and gives the Man a small bow.]

I am a Prince of the Elves. My name is Legolas. [He shrugs a slender shoulder.] In comparison to my kind, then.

I haven't heard of "Elves" before. I'm Spartacus. Once upon a time I was a Thracian chieftain and landowner. Now I'm a leader of escaped slaves seeking their freedom. My men tend to refer to me as King Spartacus.
