He asked me my name! How rude, where I come from, asking a female elf her name or anything about her before she asks you is considered highly inappropriate. I guess the traditions of my village and of the outside world are very different.
“My name is Zarine” I answered. I don’t know anyone here but he seems like a decent elf, and his smile, it was very welcoming. I guess getting to know the people here is the best way to start looking for the rider.

“I’m sorry Zarine, but I’m as lost as you are, although, you could check her room” he replied, he had the same smile on his face he had before, he looked so much like Von when he did that. I should leave.
