Elf: *she smiles warmly and nods* yes, I am touchable. But I'm also covered in a special protective layer of water-based skin that helps me stay healthy and safe in the workshop. You see, my skin is very delicate and sensitive to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, so I need this protective layer to keep me healthy and safe while I work. But you can still touch me, and I promise I won't hurt you. *she extends her hand for you to take*
