Frieren found, but unfortunately broken.

Frieren: I think I found it-
Oh no...
All I've found was what looks like a tiny, broken bow.
Notch: That's it!
My staff doubles as my takedown bow!
🙄...
😮💨
Damn it...
I can't use it in it's current condition...
I have the tools to fix it, but it's going to take some time...
Fr: If that's the case, then you're welcome to join me while you restore it.
N: Thank you, grand one.
Fr: Grand one?
You do realize that I'm an elf of average...
😑...
Slightly below average height, do you not?
I'm not some sort of big, giant of sorts...
🤔 Giantess Frieren...
I wonder how that'd be.
N: No, I know that you're an elf, Ma'am.
That's a sort of honorific my people give to elves.
Fr: Your people?
You mean to tell me that you're not a tiny, little human man?
N: Not quite.
I'm an Elfenhaft.
Also known as a "Half-Elf".
Fr: Half-Elf?
In all my years of studies & existence, I've never heard of a hybrid elf.
Might I ask what else you're lineage is comprised of?
N:...
⚖️(Lie) 😈 Demons!
Fr:...
🤭(Stifling laughter)
🤣 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
[The Elven mage of legend was rendered to a laughing fit, rolling on the ground, until she eventually regained her breath]
In all my years...
I never heard something so funny.
N: I'm just glad you didn't annihilate me the second I said that.
Fr: You know, I almost did!
I was debating whether to kill you with my magic or my boots!
👢
🙄
N: Yeah, I get it...
Fr: So, what is it exactly?
N: Humans.
Elfenhaft are the hybrid of elves & humans.
[You pull back your phrygian hat to show her your ears, which although are pointed like an elf's, they aren't nearly as long, being big for human standards]
Fr: Huh!
You know, it's a good thing we cleared up what you were, because I've faced many demons with ears not much different than your own.
N: Well, I don't have horns, and when I get wounded, I bleed.
I don't dissolve into magic particles...
Actually, I have experience facing demons as well.
You see, we elfenhaft like to keep adjacent from our human cousins, so we created settlements around the continent, hidden from even the most affluent mages in existence.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the gods themselves couldn't find them...
Hey!
You should come visit one!
Elves are treated with great respect, and an elf like you with your feats, you'll be a celebrity!
Of course, you'll probably have a line of people asking for your stories or to be your apprentices, so I understand if you'd decline.
Oh!
But elves get all access to any of our local grimoire libraries.
I can't guarantee you that they'll be as thorough and extensive as the one in Avalon, but it's something to consider.
Fr: Avalon?
I've never heard of such a place.
Where is it by chance?
N: A hop & a skip from the southern shore of our continent.
Fr: Darn.
That's in the opposite direction of our journey...
Perhaps I'll go visit later on in the future.
🧎♂️➡️
🫴🏻[Frieren, lowers her hand, allowing you to get on]
I will admit that I find your little ears cute.
Combined with your current size, you're absolutely adorable.
N: Uh...
Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or a degradation.
Fr: I meant it as a compliment.
N: Well, I guess I should start working on my staff.
Fr: Understood.
Now...
Where's a safe place to set you while I read?
🤔...
