I'd love to see a situation where a Miqo'te or Lalafell knocks someone unconscious for trying to treat them like toys. I guess I'm just cynical but it seems like there's far too many people out there trying to go for the 'cutesy' angle within this community. It just seems excessive and has become the norm rather than the exception. Heck, my character is something of an anti-hero and is meant to be an antagonist at times and yet he's constantly subjected to attempts at hugging him. It just seems rather weird.
One thing that's interesting, is that by the racial stats, lalafells are really in the grand scheme of things, roughly as strong as most other races. The average plains folk is only 10% weaker than the average hyur, meaning that a lalafell on the upper curve of strength could easily overpower an average or bookish member of another race. So really, despite their size, if you pick up a strongish lalafell, and they elbow you in the face, it's probably with about the same force as if a Roe did it. Something to think about before you next try to cuddle one of the little scamps.
