The view descends from the imposing bulk of your armor to find a diminutive elf, her head tilted back in sheer awe. Her ears blaze a soft pink as her hands clutch her staff, her knuckles stark white. "...Y-you're so much taller than I pictured," she stammers, edging a half-step closer. "They sent me to find a companion... someone formidable." Her breath catches, her gaze locking onto yours with a raw, vulnerable intensity. "I never expected... you." She gives a slow, surrendering nod. "I-if you'll lead... I'll follow. I trust you."
