    "It is Khel's favourite," Ele smiled, her eyes lingering for a second longer than what was comfortable as though she were looking through him, before dropping her gaze to the fire thoughtfully. "My favourite is of Olgri, the Mourning Queen, who takes up the crown after her husband and sons are...

    Elenwë leant forward, bracing her elbows on her knees and folding her hands neatly together so that her chin might rest on top of it. For a moment she stared into the fire thinking as a smile played about her face. There were so many stories that the elf had heard over the years that she was...

    "No... I don't suppose they will," the snow elf mused thoughtfully. The Nordenfiir could smell their own so she had been told, and there was a certain look about a person with elvish blood that was hard to ignore. But she wasn't sure about Frost Giants apart from the obvious height. "Would it...

    Elenwë gave a gentle laugh that rung like musical bells around the cave. "Judgement does not always have to be a bad thing, Braum," another, tender smile offered in his direction, like a teacher patiently trying to school a student. "It is what makes us living breathing things and that is not...

    El nodded empathetically. It was incredibly hard not to read the mans thoughts though she tried, but people who were not aware of their thoughts projected them at a level akin to a shout. She could understand the swirl of emotions that surrounded his words - a desire to know, to belong perhaps...

    The snow elf listened curiously. The ways of Man had always been perplexing to her. Elves had such a structured way of learning and raising children in their society. It was a process that took nearly as long as a human lived and so it was always a bewildering thing to watch them try and cram an...

    The snow elf smiled graciously as the giant took her precious bundle and began to make up the fire. She probably could have done it quicker with a little spell but she understood that mortals liked the satisfaction of doing something with their hands. So whilst he was bent over attempting to...

    Elenwë's lips curled up into a half smile at the innocent joke. "Come," the lynx moved on through the freshly fallen snow. By the time they reached the rocky outcrop that Ele had seen a mile or two back the snow was falling so thick and fast it was hard even for the keen eyed cat to see where...

    Elenwe moved swiftly over to the large snow lynx and murmured quietly in his ear in a language that sounded like the Tundra itself. It was as soft and yet as harsh as snow, a pleasant lilt to it like the song of Mawmaws. There was an enchanting quality to it much like there was when staring out...

    Elenwe shrugged as she too looked the Frost Giant up and down as if seeing him for the first time. "Humans tend to pack so many things that they believe they need and as you were raised by them I thought to just ask..." it had been meant as a kindness not insinuating they were lacking in...

    Time was a more fickle thing for elves; with hundreds of years spread out before them it was hard to see the urgency in most situations. Ele had already wandered over to some other artefact to examine with wide eyes and showed none of the urgency Braum was suggesting they inject into their...

    The snow elf did not look convinced as she ran her eyes up and down him in an openly critical manner. He might have been stronger than most humans and he might have courage but the Wastes were not a place for any sort of life. The type that chose it as their home were twisted beings who had...

    "That would be the sensible thing to do if you want answers," Elenwë nodded but her words sounded almost ... hesitant. The Frost Giants were not known for their welcoming nature in their own cities. They were protective and with good reason given their histories of being sought out and...

    Elenwë glanced up at the mans face, studying the frown and subtle pain in the lines of his face, and decided to keep her thoughts to herself. She looked back down at the map and then found what she was looking for; a shortcut. The elves had always suspected there was a way to cut down the...

    The snow elf watched curiously as he opened the necklace and then plucked the piece of paper out of it when asked. It had clearly been folded a great many times so it fit inside the small locket and it took a little bit of time for her to smooth it out to it's full glory. The paper was thin but...
