Well it's time for you to bring some context, as I asked earlier

Elves are wonderful race, why are you asking such a strange things?
Because I've dealt with them and seen them in person, and you haven't. If you saw a talking log in front of you, would you still want to talk to him? Have you heard that most Elves are subject to the Elvish curse?
Oh, that's interesting. Does the curse turn elves into logs? What the amusing world you live
