The High Elf leader nodded as Russell soon translated the words that lt. Black had said. When the case was held out the female elf stopped him from grabbing it and instead she grabbed it. Once the elf was closer Russell could see she had qualities similar to that of the leader but also different, possibly suggesting mixed heritage.<br/><br/>The female elf opened the case, acting in a way as if she expected something to leap out and bite her, but blinked in surprise, her eyes making her look younger than she actually was, (which is saying something considering elves already look young.)  as she pulled out the wine bottle and examined it further. The elder cleared his throat.<br/><br/><em>"Niko. Don't do that, you will offend the newcomers." </em>two spoke to each other for a moment in a hushed tone but were still audible.<br/><br/><em>"Uncle," </em>Began the female elf "Niko"<em>"We know nothing of these elves or what nation or nations they work for. They could be from outside our continent." </em><br/><br/><em>"That is why we must make a good impression, I haven't seen wine that red in years. If that is how they open up then King Oberon will welcome them with arms outstretched. We can't let our town fall behind in trade deals." </em>The leader said before walking closer to the group.<br/><br/><em>"Welcome, newcomers!" </em>He said with arms outstretched, though Niko and the two Dark Elves looked ready to pounce at a moment's notice as he too the lieutenants hand and shook it, following it up by shakings Russell's hand as well.<br/><br/><em>"Please be welcomed in my town!" </em>
