And then, she comes in. She looks different from any elf I've seen. She seems to be headed towards my cell.

"Why, hello. I believe that I have been sent to guard you" she says, flipping her hair.

I look at her. Brown eyes. Strange.

"You have brown eyes" I comment before I can stop myself.

She narrows her eyes. "Is that a problem?"

"No, no...you're also very tan for an elf." I reply.

"Well, look at this. An observant dwarf. That's a first."

"Aren't you a little young to be a guard down here?" I ask.

"Says the so-called king, being held here by a young elven girl. Funny." She shoots back. I am speechless for a moment. Yet something about her personality makes me interested...

I look up. She's gone.
