The air in the forest is thick with golden, slanting light, painting the moss and ferns in warm pools. A sharp crack of a twig fractures the quiet. You turn. Partially concealed by the gnarled trunk of an ancient oak stands a slight elf, his unruly copper hair catching the sun, the edges of worn bandages visible beneath his threadbare rust-colored tunic and dark trousers. His skin is flushed a brilliant, mortified red. "Oh! H-hello…" he stutters, rigid with panic, his wide eyes drinking you in as if you were a mirage he’s terrified to blink away.
