The elf girl looked slightly up at the striking man as her pulled back his hood and, for the second time in what was already turning into a crowded morning, she was speechless. It wasn't that he was overly handsome to her eyes, though there was a definite attractive quality which went beyond the superficial, but the aura of power which exuded from him and glimmered in those eyes took her breath. She gaped at his hand a moment, before remembering this human custom and reaching out to take the hand in her small delicate one.<br/><br/>Immediately her knees almost gave way as goosebumps immediately covered every inch on her skin. She recalled that humans had tiny hairs all across their body. Eli was sure that if she had any hair below her head it would have been standing on end , in fact she wasn't at all sure that even her long locks weren't attempting to do just that! Gathering herself and suppressing a gasp at this unexpected and unexplained connection she managed to stammer out a reply. " Yes I am first daughter to the chieftain. My name is Elana D'Elethui. My pleasure to make your acquaintance." She released the hand with a sigh of relief, sure this Zaxis must think her quite mad. She hoped that if he were on official business he wouldn't think that of all her tribe were so scatterbrained and easily flustered "Umm.. my father is attending Dawn Council and may be some time." She glanced up at the sun, still red and swollen and only a finger's breadth over the horizon. "Perhaps an hour, maybe two and he will return. I couldn't tell you the council location even if you were willing. It is a secret meeting, and not something attended by outsiders. I could send a message though if it should be an urgent matter?".<br/><br/>Eli couldn't help but be curious as to the business this man wanted to discuss. She self consciously smoothed the tunic she was wearing, wishing she had found time to wear an undershirt for some reason, and ran her fingers through her hair again to straighten the odd tangle. "Perhaps you would like to wait inside? I can fetch some breakfast or refreshments for you? Unless you would prefer to see some of the village?". She wondered what his response would be. It could tell her something about what his intentions here were. She sensed power in him... but not danger... at least not imminently. She suspected she would not wish to make an enemy of this man.
