<span style="color: #408000">"I do not see why you should not be allowed to call me by 'Levi,' should you wish to do so," the elf said absentmindedly, pondering the potential difficulty for certain species in pronouncing what he had been known by his entire life. "I have never had a sobriquet before."<br/><br/>Levainlain waited, watching with enthusiasm for the first moment in which his two guests would notice the structure. <span style="font-style: italic">Guests,</span> he thought. <span style="font-style: italic">No longer intruders.</span> He listened with pleasure to the demon's appreciation of the beauty of this area of the forest, and blushed when he mentioned his offer from earlier. What did this young creature think that he was trying to do to him? He shook his head lightly in a manner resembling a deer so as to disengage from the thought as Lilu continued. The demon was cut off by his own wonder, however, and the elf smiled inwardly to see his face. <br/><br/>"I am honored by your words, Lilu. This is not the only area of the forest which I patrol, but it is by far my favourite, which is why I have settled here. Krisnin is filled with trees this large. I believe. It is because we do not harvest them for lumber," Levainlain spoke critically but with a humoured tone, though he stopped briskly, not wanting to offend Jeremi. He was in part a human, but not a logger, and he had never come to harm the forest. He turned to him. "No offence was meant to you, Herb-seeker. My apologies. As for how long I have lived here . . . no more than fifty years."<br/><br/>Levainlain did not like to ponder the past. He found it depressing at best and debilitating at worst. He was broken from this painful reverie by a resurgence of the not-to-distant past, and turned to look toward the source of a resounding echo of a twig snapping. There, crouched behind a tree, was a young man which he believed that he had come to recognise by the name of "Stacy," though he had never met him beyond a nod of acknowledgement. He thought briefly, and concluded that Jeremi and Lilu should meet the lad, seeing as he resided so close, and that he likely should get to know him as well. "Young sir, would you care to join us?"</span>
