Never Tell A Man He Looks Like a "Cute Little Pink Elf"

I was at a party and saw a man who looked like an elf and so I made a beeline for him.  As I neared him, I could hear his English accent and found his multiple usage of the word "brilliant" amusing. "That's just BRILLIANT!!", "Oh, she's bloody BRILLIANT!", "BRILLLLLIANT!"  A jolly bloke, he reminded me of an elf....so I told him so.   With a look of confusion, he replies, "I look like...an ELF?"  "Yes!  You look like a cute little pink elf!!"  I meant it as a compliment, but quickly realized I had just told a man he looked like a LITTLE PINK ELF. Uh oh, time for some damage control. Quickly I backpedaled, "But elves are sexy, masculine and mysterious - it's good being an elf, don't you think?"  He stares at me, "an elf you say?"  There was nothing more I could say, I just resorted to blatant honesty, "Well, I'm rather fond of elves and think you and your impish grin are adorable." A smile crept across his face, so I asked him if I could draw him as an elf and he said yes. Medium: ink on paper, digital paint.

He's freakin' adorable! I hope he liked his portrait.

He has a very likeable face. The kind of person that looks like fun to hang around.

Hm. With that cocked eyebrow? I would have said satyr. I'm seeing him bare-chested and with cloven hooves. And I'm *liking* it!
