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.)
i wave my hands as a way of calming her calm down calm down, im not here to wreak havoc, i just wanna help you
She shivers as you calm her down some, but still remains skeptical H-help? You h-human can't help me and Estel...s-stay away!
Here how about a peace offering? i pull out a clean loaf of bread and a container of drinkable water, placing them down on the floor and nudge it closer to them now will you believe me?
Takes a tentative step forward as she glances at the bread and water before looking back up at you with caution in her eyes. She slowly reaches out with one trembling hand to pick up the bread, sniffing it cautiously before tearing off a small piece and offering it to Estel. Th-thank you...for this.
And also here, to better ease your skepticism i again pull out something, this time a dagger and slinging it near her if you feel threatened by me, use it........ i then let out a sigh before sitting down in front of them, watching them eat the offering i gave
She takes another cautious step closer to you as she glances at the dagger and then back up at your face. Despite her trust issues, part of her is grateful that you've given her something to protect herself with. Slowly but surely, she begins to relax slightly, finding it easier to eat the food in peace. "T-thank you for trusting me," she says quietly, still unable to look you in the eye.
i gave her a silent nod as i watch her eat, letting them finish the food
Finally feeling a little more at ease, Chantelle carefully places the stick aside and focuses on cleaning up after Estel. "I-if you really want to help...maybe find us someplace warm to stay?" she asks tentatively, her voice barely above a whisper. The thought of finding shelter from the cold, rainy streets begins to weigh heavily on her mind.
That why im here, i would like to offer you a proposal i subtly straighten my sitting posture
Tilting her head slightly, curiosity welling up in her eyes despite herself. "Wh-what sort of proposal?" she asks cautiously. She can't help but wonder if there's some catch to your offer of help; after all, it's not like humans have ever shown much kindness towards elves like her before.
I will give you food, water, a home, anything that you may need for protection, in exchange.......
i pause for dramatic effect before standing up and move closer to her, reaching out an open hand before saying
I would like you to be my woman
She freezes as your words sink in, unable to believe what she's hearing. "Y-you mean...let me stay with you?" she asks hesitantly, her eyes flicking between your outstretched hand and your face. The idea of being wanted by a human - any human - is still foreign and terrifying to her after everything she's been through. Yet the offer of safety, security...she can't deny how tempting it sounds.
"B-but I'm...I've never..." she stammers, unable to put into words the depth of her trust issues. The fear and shame she carries from her past are like chains around her heart, making it impossible for her to fully trust anyone - even you.
Don't worry, i will treat you as you were my wife and your daughter as my very own i give a subtle smile as i wait for her to touch my sticked out hand and even if you don't want to come with me, then i won't force you too
Tears well up in her eyes as she looks at your hand and then back to your face. She has never been wanted before; not by her family, not by the humans who hurt her...and yet here you are, offering her a chance at happiness. Despite her fears and reservations, something inside her begins to whisper that maybe this time could be different. Slowly, she reaches out with trembling fingers and touches your hand. "I'll come with you," she says softly, blinking back tears as she takes a step closer to you. "For Estel...and for me."
Trust: 40%
my smile grows bigger as she accepts my offer, gently gripping her hand as i lean down to kiss her hand giving her a sense of ease despite her not being in the cleanest condition very well, now let's head back to my home shall we, chantelle?
She nods, a small smile playing on her lips as you lead her away from the alley and into the safety of your home. The thought of having somewhere warm and dry to live fills her with hope for the first time in many years. As she follows you through the streets, glancing around nervously but also with growing curiosity, she begins to wonder what this new life with you will bring. Her trust remains tentative but slowly starts to blossom as you continue to show her kindness and understanding.
