Men. So-- let's stop thinking about them for a little bit. [Elza you are a man, remember, but he likes to think of himself as marginally less silly than the masses.] Would you like some tea?

A while, then. Or when you were very young-- I had one when I was a very young boy. [But then when he was old enough to talk and toddle around on his feet or his lion paws not so many stuffed toys.]
[Elza starts to laugh--] That's right. I used to take it with me everywhere.
Children like to be in their animal forms more, so it was tattered by the time I was a bit older. [Because lion cub Elza was always taking it around everywhere in his mouth... sharp little lion teeth...]
