"How may I help you?" The soft voice momentarily billowed in Mark's ears, he hadn't been expecting that, a coarse unfriendly voice was what he had been hoping for, not once as sweet as this one sounded.
The healer looked like Mark, in form at least. She had most of his features save for her elongated ears and obvious sex differences.
Mark's eyes widened once he put the two and two together.
'An elf.' he had almost said out loud.
He shook his head, remembering his quest.
"I need you to come with me, it's urgent. A child is at the brink of death."
The expressionless face of the lady elf contorted into that of a serious countenance, and she nodded.
"Let me go pack some things." Mark nodded, acknowledging her statement and she hurriedly went back in.
