Hey, if the shoe fits... I just call it like I see it.
[ But there's a limit to teasing, no matter how lightly meant in response to a slight in truth just as lightly taken, that stops him short of blame your parents. Family can often enough be a concealed rat burrow to twist one's ankle in; who can say what form it takes for one so old and... eaten? Changed? ... Tadpole'd? Elves must have parents. Or else maybe he just sprang out of the center of a flower like that. ]
I'm not done with my checklist of considerations. [ What, you think he'd just be walking down the street and pick him out of a crowd like "yes, that high maintenance-looking one who's awfully quick to get on the drop on heckling me first"? Light help him. And that's not talking spitting distance to see the eyes or the chompers. ]
Setting aside you can hardly expect me to commit myself to this flip-flopping and fight off your army of pretty suitors at the same time. I hate to share, I'd be overcome with jealousy.
