    I get this feeling that they just met Derplander, as the elezen only refers to him as "midlander" instead of by name, but they know enough about the echo to know that he has it, and that he was drawn into one while sitting at their table.
    Actually, they might know him or not. It's not uncommon to use a racial term as a nickname, even among friends (I mean, I do know a few people who I actually call after the place they were born, rather than their actual name, for example).

    I dunno, its really unnatural sounding in a circle of familiarity, even in a fantasy world. We don't have many examples of characters saying "Hey you, Lalafell" or "hey you, elezen" amongst each other
