The kids didn’t seem to care that someone else, another elf, had appeared. They did quite some, as if waiting to see what the newcomer did. They seemed a bit disappointed when she picked up the cane and offered it back to Ailwin. Ailwin nodded at her, taking back his cane with a muttered word of thanks. He turned back to the children, his gaze stern and unyielding, a silent warning to not push their luck any further.
He looked at the children, now quiet and somewhat subdued, then back at the elf who had come to his aid. "It seems I owe you one," he said, his voice low but with a subtle look of sincerity. He took debts seriously, not just who owed him, but who he owed, both with favours and coin. He wasn’t an overly expressive person, not with words or expressions. Emotions often confused Ailwin, which was what he had his ally Aerona for.

Thank you. My name is Ailwin, I don't believe yours is a face that I'm familiar with in these parts.he announced, taking a moment to carefully scrutinize the unfamiliar face of the newcomer. His eyes travelled up and down, taking note of every detail as he attempted to place them within the vast canvas of his memory. He was aware that he did not know every elf that resided within the sprawling city. However, it was also true that his daily interactions and extensive acquaintanceship had made him familiar with a significant number of its inhabitants. Despite this, the individual before him remained an enigma, a puzzle yet to be solved.
