Imagine having that smart-arse teenager be that annoying for like, a few decades.
Or just… the emotionality that comes with hormones. Although one would imagine since elves do end up being more wise and whatnot, that they sort of start gathering more wisdom even though it’s slower to start with. As in, they’d be horny like a teenager for a decade or two, but they’d learn to somewhat manage it after the first five years.
I read that and then imagined it was a lecture by some sort of an insect, likely an ant-type, wearing a monocle and a top hat.
