Hmm....was no one home? He questioned his timing, pondering if perhaps there was something else going on for the moment. He stepped back for a moment, eyes looking up the house before returning to knock a second time. Still no answer. Was he even in the right place? Turning around, he cast his gaze out to the village, just studying the surroundings and what it held. It seemed homely enough, nothing too lavish and extravagant.<br/><br/>Final try. He turned around and reached his hand out, turning it to give a third and final set of knocks when he heard a little bit of scrambling inside. It was faint and it made him pause; activity? No sooner had those words crossed his mind did the door come swinging open. There before him stood a younger looking elven lady, seemingly panting for air and looking like she just rolled out of bed. Brow lifted up as he gazed at her, the silence lingering for a few moments before she began to speak. A smile crossed his lips finally, small chuckle coming from him as he shook his head.<br/><br/>"Good morning to you." He paused a moment as she mentioned her father. Ah, so this was her? "....your father? Yes yes, I am indeed looking to see him. Unfortunately no, I did not send word a head of time, but this was more a spur of the moment thing." Eyes studied the younger elf, pouring over her features as she seemed to fumble to greet him. It seemed like she was the one he was really after, but of course she would learn that in due time. "It seems like my timing wasn't the best then? I would ask where the council could be located but I have a feeling I would just get lost trying to find them. Do you know about when could I expect him to be home? Oh yes, my apologies. I am Zaxis and you must be the chieftain's daughter." A hand reached out towards her in simple greeting, his other hand reaching up to pull his hood back. Black spiked hair would emerge from under the hood, light brown eyes that almost glimmered gazing to the elf, pale skin of his handsome complexion catching a few rays of the sunlight that it did not see more of until recently.
