[HORSE]

[There is no text in this message. All there are are some drawings of rather strange creatures. After some time, a drawing of a completely different creature is scribbled into one corner.

However, anyone in or passing near Dorm 25 will be able to hear a soft argument between Asch and Murtagh (oneformisery) along the lines of "That's not a horse, it's some kind of monster." "Of course it's a horse! Do you think I'm making this up?"]

[ The drawings are all examined with interest. The drawing of the one with the third eye fails to draw any recognition, he having not yet seen Livia's "third eye". ]

I've never seen such a variety of people. If you were to call any of the Dwarves, Elves, or Urgals "human", you'd be met with hostility. What I gather from this is that the term "human" is a description rather than a racial denomination, correct?

[humble_scholar]

Essentially, yes, although "Hyur" seem to be what other worlds refer to as human; same species with regional variations.

[One of the basic outlines gets sorted into a small, rounded figure with pointed ears and eyes that seem to have no visible pupils, while another is a girl with long feline ears and a tail; arrows are drawn between them and the word "Lalafell" for the small one and "miqo'te" for the feline.] For example, Lalafell and Miqo'te are also "Human", along with a few other races, although it's impossible for there to be hybrid children with a Hyur (and Lalafell are not entirely physically compatible even).

[oneformisery]

I see that they both have human shapes, ears and tail aside. It still confuses me how they are not different races however, especially if procreation isn't possible between them and Hyur.

[ The Miqo'te look like the descriptions of werecats he's read about. (Little does he know that's not how they actually look in his land.) ]
