I took a sacred oath, sir! I can't serve you Mr 40 year old Drow or I become an oathbreaker. Sorry, not sorry.

Meanwhile, "Let's see... anthropomorphic mosquito... Let me see that ID. You're 2 hours old? That checks out, here's your bourbon.

Tbh when your life is that short, you can't really see the consequences of your actions, so you might as well get wasted 24/7

When your life is that short, you don’t perceive “short” the way humans do anyway

Mass effect did that pretty well with the frog species.

Their avg lifespan is only like 35 years and as a result they move and talk much faster than other species. But they're still aware of the overall shortness of their lives compared to other species.

Due to the tragically short life span of the average fruit fly,
College is not really an option.
Caps and gowns don't come in that size anyway.

Fruit flies do love their booze though. The best trap for them is baited with wine

It takes five days for them to go from a larva to a pupa. They're definitely not an adult, and they couldn't be confused for one.

I know a lot of people homebrew this to be different in their games and that's fine, but just to clarify to anyone curious, if we're talking D&D 5e, elves mature at the same rate as humans, and the reason they only consider themselves adults at 100 is purely cultural.

Nah man I'm part human on my fathers side so it's fine!

You broke your oath with the last sentence.

How does sarcasm break my oath? As a lawful paladin I don't care if they're mad about being blocked from doing something illegal.
