Yes. In the story the elf here, Frieren, is travelling on foot with humans across the continent they live on. Frieren often wants to stop at towns they come across to rest, or study something local, or wait for favorable conditions, for anywhere from a year to multiple decades. The humans with her constantly have to remind her that a decade is like a 7th or 8th of their lifetime, even if it’s only a few moments for her comparatively.

I don’t get what the point of the comic is. Am I supposed to know something before reading it?
Pretty sure they joke is just that elves live much longer than humans so their perception of ‘soon’ could be much longer than a human’s
