He smiled slightly. His fur was short and graying, and his skin appeared three sizes too large for him. “You seek virtue.”
I nodded, conceding the point. Humility is a virtue, after all. “Do we all not seek virtue?” I asked.
His smile broadened.
I returned the smile. “What advice can you give me?”
He sat back and closed his eyes, and at first I thought he’d fallen asleep. Finally he said, “These are qualities a Seelie Elf should cultivate. Their eyes must be anxious to see clearly; in their countenance, they should be anxious that it appear benign. In an Elf’s demeanor, they must be anxious to be respectful, and in regard to their speech, they should be anxious that it be sincere.” I waited, and he added, “When doing business, be anxious to be reverently careful. If they have doubts, be anxious to ask others for advice. When an Elf is angry, they must think of what difficulties their anger may cause them, and when an Elf sees gain, they must think of Seelieness.” His eyes twinkled. "And a cervine elf must be anxious not to eat too much roughage."
[Note appended to manuscript: “He actually said that?”]
[Note appended to manuscript: “Elves Don’t Lie, Master.”]
I tried not to laugh and bowed from my seated position. “My thanks, Kung,” and with that I got up and went to bed.
And I spent some time awake, thinking over what the old sage had told me.
