Butterfly Elf Man Looks So Stern

Butterfly elf man had a reputation for being a softie Even though he looked stern, borderline determined even. Not that it’s a bad thing, but he did not look whimsical or frolicking. He looked serious, yet still, butterflies flocked to him. Is he almost mean? Someone wondered aloud. The butterflies tittered and twittered at this. They knew he had to keep a rough expression because he was soft. If people knew how soft, they would trick and swindle him. Out of his treasures, his wealth, his whatnots and whatevers. He did not dare wink or blink when other humans approached. Keeping a stern look that fooled everyone except butterflies.
