Do people see lalafells as children?

There's no way, its impossible. The mother would die either during or prior to child birth. More so prior. I don't wanna imagine a full sized adult growing in me and all the pressure its size and what its doing to crush my internal organs.

Maybe they're just built to balloon or something? It's not like your internal organs aren't already crushed when carrying a child. It does give me a funny picture though. Back when society was still tribal, Lalafel men would be forced to roll their pregnant wives in order to move them.

I suppose the more likely explanation is that they grow very rapidly.

Alphinaud and Alisae teens, Honoroit is even younger than they are.

Huh, I dunno how I forgot about Honoroit. Alphinaud and Alisae aren't adults, but I'd hardly call them children either. Honestly considering Honoroit dons combat gear, I'm hesitant to call him a child as well. He certainly doesn't act like one.

Oh they are, but there's one big difference. A 7-9 pound child when you weigh around 130 pounds. There's room to survive. Carrying a 50 pound child when you weigh 50 pounds yourself is another story.

In the picture there I feel like it's pretty clear Honoroit is a kid just seeing him compared to an adult Elezen. Yes he has more reaponsibility than a child in our world would but when you look at Ishgard as a sort of 'middle ages' type civilization that makes sense. He is referred to as a pageboy which I feel like is also not the job title of an adult.

The twins aren't kids but they aren't adults either. They're likely in their late teens but unless we are to assume they are something other than genetically Elezen (despite their lineage from a known Elezen) I feel like we have to at least understand they are examples of Elezen who have not reached physical maturity.
