What would you think about Elfilin interactions with the animal friends?

Out of the previous characters to think of to be interacting with Elfilin, the animal friends probably make the best fitting candidates for that in my opinion. I mean, Elfilin is an animalistic buddy to Kirby just like they are, and also like them, he never went against Kirby in any way shape or form. I'd think to think they could think of accepting him in their ranks, hehe.

I can even imagine Elfilin with Pitch. Both are small green animals! (well, in Elfilin's case it is technically more teal, but close enough imo and you get the point)

I'm lucky enough to have both the Elfilin plush and the Pitch plush and they happen to go together very nicely on my shelf, so yes, hooray for small green flying animals!

...And very good assessment in general! Not only are all of them very animal-esque, but the Animal Friends just give off such powerful "family" vibes to me!

(Hot Take: Dess sees the "Dream Team" as Kirby's comrades/teammates/friends and chooses to see the Animal Friends as Kirby's main "found family." Why Dededad when you can Hamsterdad?/lh I know it's because Dedede is more popular/has more character development/is handsomer/more interesting. But Rick has fur, which instantly makes him more huggable, imo. /hj)

But I think it's because of that low-key, friendly, familial, light-hearted vibe they all have that Elfy would do great with them. The (implied) older members already seem really great with the (implied) younger members (Chuchu, Pitch, Gooey) so Elfy would definitely have warm wings and paws (and a wet fin) waiting for them whenever they come to visit Dream Land!

Elfy seems very enthusiastic about enjoying just normal, everyday things, probably due to their experience in the lab and living most of their life in hiding, and the Friends are some of the most wholesome residents in Dream Land!

(...I know some of you are going to be tempted to make jokes about things that happen in the Kirby manga here, but we're talking game-verse only, so there!)
