Not necessarily, Ninkybug. Danyel’s family is nobility, while Sylvia’s belongs to some sort of servant class. (It’s also suggested in this strip that Sylvia’s family may carry mixed elven/human blood.) Her family might not object to her relationship with Danyel, but his almost certainly would–not because they dislike Sylvia, but because marrying her would hurt Danyel’s social standing and future prospects in elven society.
(I’m extrapolating the reasons for their concern from Berann’s conversation with Mike about dating Crystal. His primary objection to their relationship seems to be that, if Crystal were to marry Mike, she’d basically be kicked out of the elven nobility. Thus, he’s motivated mainly by concern for his children’s futures, not by dislike of any person or species or class as such.)
Awww! I wouldn’t have guessed. Poor Danyel and Sylvia.
I did from the way she was watching him at dinner.
I had a feeling that after Sylvia\\\’s and crystal\\\’s conversation earlier. That it was something like this. http://www.bardsworth.com/?comic=matters-of-the-heart
What do they have in common? Also, where did Sylvia come from? She wasn’t there before.
They both love someone that Elven society says they shouldn’t be in a relationship with.
Okay, Danyel, who’s he with??
While it’s never stated explicitly. the last panel of this comic makes it pretty clear who he’s in love with.
Aren’t they both elf’s? If they are, then wouldn’t everything be OK?
