On Aesir Furniture

Measurements of Aesir hip and knee articulation are complicated by the fact that much of their domestic furniture is built to proportions which make ordinary Human seating impractical. I discovered this during an interview conducted in the home of an Aesir physician named Brenna Hald. She offered me a chair, perfectly ordinary by Aesir standards, which placed my feet approximately eight inches above the floor. I spent two hours attempting to conduct a serious discussion of thoracic mechanics while dangling like a child at supper.

Brenna noticed this only at the end of the interview. She apologised and brought me a footstool, which was itself taller than most Human chairs.
