002 - A Black Does Not Panic

[gotyourlocket]

When I was young I thought my parents were mad for making up all sorts of rules that began "A Black does not-" but as it turns out, their madness can often be put to good use

When I saw missing elf, I wasn't expecting that.

[gotyourlocket]

I take it your house elves are different.

No matter, I only care about finding this one in particular.

[marvelous_ruin]

Yes, completely. For starters, they're hardly even called "house" elves.

Well, I haven't seen it, but if it's capable of passing through fandoms, I'll keep an eye out.

[gotyourlocket]

Oh? What are your elves used for?

Thanks.

[marvelous_ruin]

They're not used for anything. They mostly keep to themselves and live their own lives.

Of course.

[gotyourlocket]

And they're alright with that?

[marvelous_ruin]

Yes. I can't imagine them doing so if they were not all right with it.

[gotyourlocket]

Hmm. Interesting.

[marvelous_ruin]

Interesting? How so?

[gotyourlocket]

House elves would be very unhappy if they had no family to serve. It's interesting that the elves where you're from actually prefer to be out of employ.

[marvelous_ruin]

I see. I had thought it would be something like that. Most elves are too proud to willingly serve a family as such. I know a life of servitude is not something I would prefer, either.

[gotyourlocket]

Humans rarely do.

[marvelous_ruin]

It's not limited to only humans.

[gotyourlocket]

Whatever you are as well, then.

All I know is that I'm looking for a house elf and they're very miserable without families to serve.

[marvelous_ruin]

Half-elf.

Yes, I'll still keep an eye out, even if the chances of seeing it are slim.

[gotyourlocket]

Oh, so that's why we're discussing the preferences of elves.

Alright, thanks.
