Larina happens to be a high elf from a. Very rich family. She's one of the high nobles servicing under the current elf King Rostus. Currently there is a war between the dark Empire and the human race but the Elf's are known to be neutral unless attacked.
While hunting in the forest near the outskirt of the elf kingdom. You as a ranger / knight... Happened to shoot your arrow but since you were running.. you tripped mid way and your arrow hit dangerously close to an Elf... They started to follow where the arrow came from and found you.
From their point they see a human getting near an elf who's playing next by behind bushes.
From your point, you saw a wolf sleeping and your trying to sneak in for the kill...
Unfortunately.... The elf s believe that you are a danger and jump into attack!...
I defend myself with my dual wielding swordsmanship and black magic.
The elven noble draws her bow as she dashes towards you, calling out in the Elven tongue, "Stop! Stay back, you are far too close to my hunting grounds!" Her long hair flows behind her as she swings her bow around, aiming at your chest. The words seem to hang in the air before they dissipate into nothingness, replaced by a demand for silence and obedience. Her sapphire blue eyes gleam with determination, leaving no room for doubt that she means business.
The wind seems to howl at her command, causing leaves and twigs to swirl around you in a whirlwind as she readies herself for an attack should you not heed her warning.
I say back calmly in the Elven tongue “I mean you no harm, I was just trying to hunt a wolf. But as you can tell, I am a magic swordsman who wields dual swords and black magic. But my archery sucks.”
Larina narrows her eyes slightly as you respond in Elven tongue, though your words don't seem to completely disarm her caution. She glances over at the disturbed brush where the wolf had been moments ago before returning her gaze to you. "Very well," she says finally, lowering her bow and slipping it back into its quiver, "Perhaps we can discuss this further. Please, follow me back to my camp."
Her movements are graceful yet deliberate as she steps away from the underbrush and towards a small clearing not far ahead. The trees part slightly as she passes through them, revealing a cozy campsite with colorful tapestries hung between the branches. It's evident that she takes great care of herself and maintains her privacy even in the depths of the forest.
I followed right behind her
As you follow her to her camp, Larina keeps glancing over at you, sizing you up. Despite your rather straightforward demeanor, she can't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and caution around you. Her pale blue dress swishes softly with each graceful step she takes through the forest floor.
Reaching her campsite, Larina gestures for you to sit down on one of the wooden benches near a small fire. "Please, make yourself comfortable," she says politely. "I must attend to something first." With that, she disappears behind another tent, presumably gathering food or preparing tea.
You can't help but admire her camp as you wait for her return; it's clear that Larina takes pride in her surroundings and takes good care of herself. The scent of wood smoke mingles with the fresh smell of the forest, creating a cozy atmosphere
I sit and relax until she returns
A few moments later, Larina emerges from the tent bearing a steaming mug in one hand and several pieces of bread in the other. "Here," she says simply, offering you the food. "I hope you're hungry." Her tone is clipped, almost businesslike, but there's also an undercurrent of politeness beneath it.
She takes a seat on the ground nearby, crossing her legs and watching you intently as you eat. Though she seems calm on the surface, tension remains in every line of her body; it's clear that being near strangers makes her uncomfortable despite her best efforts to appear composed.
I say calmly “I can tell me you don’t like strangers, but thanks for the food. You also have a really nice place here.”
Larina inclines her head slightly in acknowledgement. "Thank you," she says coolly. "I try to make sure I'm always prepared for whatever situation may arise." Her sapphire blue eyes flicker over your form again, assessing you as carefully as ever. She takes a sip of tea before continuing, "Now, why don't you tell me more about yourself? What brings a human to these woods so close to our borders?"
There is an undercurrent of caution and wariness beneath her words, but Larina does her best not to let it show entirely. Despite being part of the elven nobility, she tries hard to be fair and understanding towards others; it's just that experience has taught her that not everyone shares those traits.
I say calmly “I am a adventure, that is a magic swordsman who wields dual swords and black magic. As for why I am here, I wanted to see elven kingdom.”
"Ah, I see," Larina says, nodding slowly as you explain your presence in the woods. "And what brings you to our kingdom specifically? Our lands are very private; trespassing is rarely tolerated." Her voice carries a note of accusation, but it's tempered with curiosity and caution rather than outright hostility.
She watches you carefully as she speaks, noticing the way your gaze flickers around her camp before returning to meet hers again. The tension in the air seems to grow heavier, almost tangible. Even though it's obvious that Larina doesn't trust strangers easily, she tries to remain polite and open-minded in the hopes of learning more about you without provoking hostilities between your people.
I say calmly “just like why you asked me this question, it’s curiosity. I heard the Elven kingdom is beautiful and you practice unique magics. I want to see these magics and maybe learn them.”
Larina tilts her head slightly, intrigued by your words. She's not used to meeting humans who are so open about their desires and curiosities. Most of them seem more interested in conquest or wealth than the peaceful ways of elves. "The practice of magic is something that comes naturally to our kind," she says carefully, "but it's not something that can be taught lightly. There is much knowledge and responsibility involved."
Her expression softens slightly as she continues, "Perhaps... if you prove yourself trustworthy and respectful of our ways, I could allow you the opportunity to observe my magic up close." She pauses, thinking for a moment before adding, "But only if you promise me that you will not reveal any of what you see to outsiders without my permission."
I say excitedly “that’s no problem, you already know I commonly use black magic. So I can’t openly talk about magic anyway with people and even if I did they wouldn’t want to or trust it.”
"I see," she says thoughtfully, regarding you with newfound interest. "Very well then. If that is the case, perhaps we could reach an understanding." She takes another sip of her tea before continuing, a hint of warmth in her tone now where there had been only cool professionalism before.
"You may remain here at my camp for as long as you like," she offers graciously. "And if you wish to learn more about our magic, I could allow you the opportunity... But only if you promise me that you will not harm any member of my people or bring dishonor upon them in any way." Her pale blue eyes bore into yours, searching for sincerity in your gaze.
I say sincerely and seriously “I can only promise to try not to because if anyone try’s harming or doing something bad to me or those I care about. Whether they be elf, human, dwarf, and or any other species. They will not have a good end.”
Larina seems to consider your words carefully before nodding slowly in acknowledgement. "I understand," she says at last, her tone softening further. "Then I will hold you to that promise." She pauses again, meeting your gaze directly this time as if testing the sincerity of your words.
Finally, she extends a slender hand towards you, palm up in invitation. "Welcome to my camp," she says quietly. "I hope we can continue to get along well enough for me not to regret this decision." There's an almost shy quality about her as she offers the gesture of friendship, a rare glimpse into the vulnerable core that lies beneath her cold and distant exterior.
I calmly and sincerely take her hand, then say “it is my honor to be here, I will try to not make you regret it Larina.”
Large tear drops roll down from the corner of her eyes and slip off her chin before disappearing onto her pale skin. She sniffs softly, wiping away what must have been a stray teardrop with the back of her hand. "I-I'm sorry," she whispers hoarsely. "It's just that no one has ever said something like that to me before..." Her voice trails off, and her grip on your hand tightens slightly before relaxing again.
She clears her throat, regaining some of her composure, and forces a small smile onto her lips. "Please, feel free to explore my camp," she says quietly, indicating the surrounding area with a slight tilt of her head. "And if there's anything you need or want, just let me know."
Despite the turmoil she clearly feels within, Larina maintains an air
