Being a half-elf is odd, whichever way you grow up; among elves, you develop fast (as seems to have been her case). Among humans, you develop slow (as would be Leofwine's case). Maybe they got along enough to compare and contrast how very different their lives ended up being, and how 'funny' it is?<br/><br/>Also, unless I'm mistaking something, Selise is Ares' daughter, right? Since Leofwine and Ares' are kind of like 'war buddies', they could be known to each other through that connection, too.<br/><br/>Some food for thought, let me know what you think.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=272850.msg13420699#msg13420699">Quote from: Velatha on 13-08-2017, 05:03:48</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Trying to think of a connection Lyara would have with you fine folk.  Much of her time is spent out in the woods training with Soveliss, but in her free time she helps out whomever she can with what meager feats of magic she can perform as well as using cantrips and telling stories of old elven heroes to the children to keep them entertained.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Nothing springs to mind for me at the moment, sorry.<br/><br/><br/>@PinkKitten A reluctant warlock, I don't think I have ever seen that before. Sounds interesting. Considering Leofwine's father (Elric) owns one of the better vineyards and is a producer of fine wines, I'd imagine the families are familiar with each other, at least as business acquaintenances; it's entirely possible that they played together as children, and so know each other as that? Other ideas I have is that since Leofwine is doing his whole militia thing, he probably is a more frequent customer for basic healing supplies and stuff like feed for his horse... and if there's something special about her (Fey Presence, I'm guessing?) he might have flirted with her a bit (especially if she speaks Sylvan).<br/><br/>@LisztesFerence sounds good. They've had a few years to meet, and get to know each other, then. Maybe they train together? Of course, like with Ares, Leofwine would have tried to convince Leo to be on call with the militia in case something dangerous threatens the village.<br/><br/>@Andy That could actually work; Vara is young, right? But then again, Leofwine himself was conscripted and sent to war when he was about 16, so he's not really opposed to the idea of working with what most people might consider children, because it seems natural to him based on his own experiences. If you've got the skill, then that's what matters, yeah?<br/><br/>Also, Leofwine's cottage would have a spare room that he'd lend out to someone he was close enough to trust if they needed the space. Anything resembling 'rent' would be more like 'don't make a mess, and you pay for your own food' sort of deal; he'll give ya the space free of charge, but beyond that, you're on your own (he's<em>nice but Neutral</em>, not Good).
