I don't care about Lucian hiding somewhere anymore.
The fact that I just met a group of Moon Elves was enough to make me forget everything else. I sat with them around the table, completely absorbed in their stories, my earlier worries melting away like mist.
One of the elves gracefully poured tea into my cup, it was already my second, since I'd downed the first in one go while listening to them.
"But… your ears," I said, unable to stop myself. "I mean—"
"Ah," one of them giggled, tucking a silver strand of hair behind her ear. "We can hide or show them if we want. Like this…"
She tapped behind her ear lightly, and to my surprise, the pointed tip shimmered once before vanishing.
"That's… cool," I breathed, eyes widening in amazement as I leaned forward a little. "Like, really cool."
The elves around the table giggled softly, clearly amused by my reaction, their silvery hair catching the soft light like strands of moonlight itself.
