From what Gil had thought, he was already more than accepted. Sure, some of the elves had joked that he was an elf with a human body. However, they had not made such a grand gesture to hold a ceremony honoring him as a member of their race. It was a big deal.
"You may technically be welcomed as a forest elf, but everyone else knows what you have done and would do for the elves. You are different from the rest of your party. Walker focuses on bringing people together, Su focuses on protecting and healing. Remey focuses on creating new things and making a point. It is all different."
Alma thought for another moment, "Onyx is going to bring about his own race to be equal with the rest of the races and Midnight is busy building a path that the dragon trace has never walked. You gave everything to bringing back the elven techniques to connect us to our high elf bloodlines. You have protected the ideal I fight for."
