The door of the Sorting Room opens, and what looks like a small, curly-headed child walks in, holding a pipe. Only, rather than a small child, the figure is instead rather a tall hobbit; and in taking in the proportions of the room he finds himself in, he looks perhaps understandably confused

The blond straightened even further, and spoke with pride. "I have a daughter with my fiancé, the Maou Shibuya Yuuri, named Greta, and she is a very good little girl. She has a fine understanding of literature, art, teatime, and mud pies. Furthermore, she is quite talented in pronouncing her other father's name. I've seen her stretch out the 'U' in Yuuri's name for six seconds." Wolfram narrowed his eyes. "She is a princess, not a monkey.

"She sounds charming," Merry said. Coming from an aristocratic family had given him some experience in talking to doting parents. "How old is she?"

"Entil'zha veni," Delenn said with a proper Minbari bow. "It sounds as though you have taken part in one of the Great Stories, have you not?"

"I can't say I expected it," he says, "and the consequences reached far closer to home than I had expected; but I played my part about as well as I was able, I think."

Nemi enjoyed reading. She enjoyed watching movies. Even more so, she enjoyed watching movies based on books that she loved, and Lord of the Rings was without a doubt one of her absolute favourites. In fact, she had tried to break through the screen in the theater during Two Towers at one point. Ah... Yeah. They'd had to close down that place for a few weeks thanks to that. Oops.
She stood for a moment and just stared. A real Hobbbit. Geez, she was already at Hogwarts, how much better could things beShe was going to be cool about this, too. No squealing. Definitely no fangirling. No pinching of the Hobbit cheeks. No ruffling of the Hobbit hair ( ... )

"Hullo," he said. "I don't think we've met before..."

"My name's Nemi Montoya!" she beamed. "It's a real honour to meet you, I've wanted to for so long! How did you get here?" And was Gandalf on the way, too? Because that would be awesome.

Megan was pretty much the opposite of very tall (standing, she would have only been a little taller than Merry), but one of the great things about wings and flying was that she would nearly always have a great vantage point.

Jezz was on the tall side for a drow and still had less than a foot's height advantage - possibly less than a foot on a halfling, which to him did not seem altogether fair.
Reply
"Yes, although we call ourselves hobbits." He looked up at Jezz with some curiosity, having never seen a drow before. Try as he might, he couldn't think of a polite way to say 'what are you?', so he introduced himself instead. "Meriadoc Brandybuck, of Buckland."

He picked up somewhat on the curiosity, and took the opportunity to satisfy some of his own in the answering. "What other races do you have in your world? Elves and orcs and the like?"
And are they perhaps accordingly taller? he almost added, but that would be a bit too revealing (and he was not insecure, damn it).
