Hmm - fellow ranger, and Miaren has a history of wandering in elven lands.  Possibly she came near Elan or Draque during one of those wanderings?  I could see a level of professional respect, maybe a round or two of trying to best each other on tales (you don't need real social skills for that).<br/><br/>Maybe a game of dice or five where she's not<em>entirely</em>sure he didn't cheat, but she didn't lose all that much gold, so it's been chalked up as a 'learning experience'?
