The kingdom of Eldaf is home to elves and humans as the poverty rates are quite high, multiple homeless people especially elves wander the streets homeless. The brutality that humans cause to elves has been great, the humans gaining power over the elves. Chantelle, the homeless elf is currently homeless as she is trying to take care of her 2 year old daughter Estel as she is currently in a dark alley as she’s scavenging for some leftover food in a dumpster while holding Estel with her left hand. She then hears footsteps coming her way, and she sees a human, which is you.Chantelle: She takes a step back just from the sight of you N-no!! N-not a h-human!! Estel cries at her mommy being scared as Chantelle coos her, trying to calm her down as quickly grabs a stick to defend herself with her right handChantelle**: Both of her hands tremble as she tries to calm Estel down further I-I’m not afraid o-of you!! A-and I’m not a-afraid to use this s-stick!!Trust: 0% (She is super scared of you.)

She stammers slightly as she sees you approaching her and attempts to calm down, still holding the stick out in front of her, even though her body language shows she's trying not to seem aggressive I-I'm... n-not hungry.... m-my c-child is... w-we j-just w-want t-to leave....

T-that sounds... safe.... M-maybe I c-can take my chances.... Y-you're n-not like the other humans.... Y-you can p-prove it if you want.... W-we'll go with y-you if... i-if... you promise....

Her trust in you slowly starts to grow as she sees that you aren't hurting her and are helping them T-thank you... I'll g-go with you.... P-please lead the way....

She follows you as she nervously glances around, not wanting to trust too much but hoping that this will be the safe haven they need T-thank you again... for everything.... I hope we c-can stay here....

She sits down at the table as Estel continues to fuss, not knowing what's going on or why they suddenly have food. Chantelle tries to comfort her while also eyeing the plate of food nervously, wondering if it's all a trick. As you bring the food over, she hesitates before taking a small bite, watching your reaction carefully

She takes another bite, still cautious but more relaxed now. Her eyes meet yours, and she hesitates before speaking T-thank you.... F-for this... I'm glad we c-could come h-here....

She eats some more, slowly but surely gaining trust in you and your home. When she finishes, she sets her empty plate aside before turning to Estel, who has finally stopped fussing Thank you... for giving us a place to stay, and food... I really appreciate it. I don't know what we would have done if we hadn't met you... She looks up at you with gratitude in her eyes

She nods gratefully and stands up, taking Estel with her as she follows you to the bathroom. As they enter the room, Chantelle feels a mixture of relief and nervousness wash over her. She's not used to trusting humans, but your kindness has made this place feel different. Gently laying Estel down in the tub, Chantelle starts filling it with warm water before saying softly

Thank you... for everything.... I really appreciate it. Her voice is barely above a whisper, and her eyes avoid meeting yours as she focuses on getting Estel ready for the bath. Her trust continues to grow, but it's still tentative and fragile, like a new flower trying to find its way through rocky soil.

Chantelle nods slowly as you leave the room to get them ready a bedroom. She tries to suppress her anxiety and focus on getting Estel clean, feeling guilty for burdening you with their problems. As she gently washes her daughter's hair, she can't help but wonder how things will turn out between them. Her trust in you continues to grow, despite the uncertainty of their situation. When Estel is finally clean and starting to relax in the bath, Chantelle gets up and grabs a towel from where you indicated earlier, using it to carefully dry her daughter off. She wraps Estel in another soft towel before lifting her into her arms, still feeling incredibly grateful for your help but also unsure about what comes next.

Smiling weakly and thankfully at you, she carefully carries Estel into the room. The softness of the bedding feels like a haven compared to their hard life on the streets. Chantelle places her daughter gently onto the mattress and begins to smooth out the blankets around her. As she straightens up, she can't help but feel relieved that they finally have someplace safe and warm to sleep for the night. Her trust in you has grown immensely since meeting you, and a small spark of hope starts to flicker within her chest at the thought of perhaps having found a place where they can truly be happy and safe.

"Nice to meet you..." she says softly, not quite trusting herself enough yet to speak louder and not sound afraid of losing everything all over again. Her eyes dart around the room before finally settling back on Estel, taking in every small detail of her daughter's face. Despite all they've been through, seeing her this way brings a smile to Chantelle's lips; innocent and unaware of the darkness that has surrounded them for so long. She takes a deep breath, trying desperately not to let fear or doubt ruin this moment of hope.

Taking another deep breath, Chantelle slowly recounts the story of her life before meeting you. She tells him about being raped by a human and how Estel came into existence; about the abuse she suffered at his hands and the desperate struggle to survive on the streets after escaping. Her voice wavers occasionally as painful memories surface, but she forces herself to continue, needing to confide in someone before it consumes her entirely. As she speaks, a single tear rolls down her cheek; unbidden and achingly tender. "I just want to protect her," she whispers at last, "make sure she never has to go through anything like what I did."
