A bit about Them and Elves

Shawn was taken off the stage by a few members of the medical faculty. Theo went down the stage and regrouped with his friends. Lisa and John congratulated him with a smile, showing that they are happy that he won against one of the strongest magicians in the channel opening stage. Elliot, on the other hand, looked at him with eyes that were trying to convey something.

Theo didn't understand the meaning behind his gaze, so he asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Elliot moved his head to look at him in the eyes, then asked in a calm voice tinged with sadness, "Did you have to go that far?"
