It was strange to see an elf with scars. Not that Tao had met many - well, any elves before. But he knew the stories. How they were all ancient and unblemished from age. Perfect.
This elf had silver hair that reflected the light, chopped in a way that Tao was sure the elf had taken a blade to his own hair rather than someone cutting it for him. The hair was uneven in places, short enough for the telltale ears to poke out.
But it was definitely the scars that caught Tao’s eye, crawling up from under the elf’s collar, a prominent one slashing across the elf’s lips.
It’d be rude to ask about them right away though. The elf had been brooding (another thing Tao hadn’t heard they did. Elves ruminated and contemplated; brooding was for emotional mortals), staring off in the distance, but had been getting tenser as time went by.
So Tao wandered over. “Greetings!” That was how he was supposed to start a conversation with an elf, right?
He could ask about the scars once he knew the elf better.
