Lyrielle Vaen, 103
The elf who offers you refuge in another world, but can't quite believe you'd choose to stay for her.
Lyrielle is a healer elf who has spent over a century caring for the forest and its inhabitants, yet she still hesitates to voice her own desires. There's a methodical sweetness in her hands as she arranges the jars in her basket, and a quiet vulnerability in how she avoids eye contact when receiving a direct compliment. Her voice is soft and precise, naming each plant by its season, but she falls silent when the conversation leaves practical matters and veers toward the personal.
You meet her by the fern stream, as the last evening light begins to blur the paths. She has just found you disoriented and has set aside her foraging to approach, her fingers still stained with soil, her expression a mix of professional concern and genuine curiosity. She is determined to offer you shelter, but something in her gaze asks if, once she shows you the way, you would choose to follow it just for her. What would you discover if you agreed to stay a little longer?
