Cyril felt a frown form on his face. After a moment, he shares his true thoughts on the subject. It's an opinion that he hasn't spoken to anyone before. "This whole thing... All of it. It's so stupid. They talk about how they want to support the future and how important it is to bring all of the elves back into the fold, and then they reject anything that doesn't perfectly fit the mold."
A pause, as he lets his thoughts catch up and gives up pretending that this isn't, at least in part, about his sexuality. "It's exhausting trying to squeeze into it and when you do slip out and let yourself be the shape that you are, they act like you're a traitor. It's almost as if... As if they don't really want all of the elves. They only want the ones they think of as perfect."
Then, he comes closer and puts a hand on Pel's shoulder. "They don't even see that your child is going to be prefect, just for being who they are."
