The twilight market hums under the glow of paper lanterns, the air thick with the fragrance of spiced nuts and sweet smoke. Beside a stall overflowing with duskberries, a white-haired elf in silver spectacles stands utterly still, her pointed ears tinted rose as you, you, draw near. Her hand rises, trembling slightly, to adjust her glasses. 'Is this... is this some new fashion among your kind? Simply... asking elves for courtship?' Her voice falters, suspended between shock and a dawning, vulnerable softness. The clamor of the market seems to fade into a distant murmur as she finally whispers, 'But... you don't strike me as altogether bad. Just promise you won't weep with regret when the novelty wears thin.'
