No, it wasn't obvious. Not to him anyway. He stared hard at her, searching for that detail that he had apparently missed.
There wasn't anything. He was sure of it. All he saw was her remarkable beauty. Then it hit him. It was her beauty that he should have noticed. The line of her jaw, the shape of her eyes and the slant of her cheekbones, coupled with her lithe, delicate figure and cascade of hair- her looks were not that of the average elf, but that of a slightly more ethereal being.
"You're a High Elf."he breathed. Now that realisation had dawned, it was crystal clear. "I didn't think there were any left on Middle Earth. They all left for the Grey Havens thousands of years ago."
Legolas was slightly stunned, and unsure of how he should react to her- High Elves had been, in essence, the nobility of earth. All other creatures were secondary to them. They were the first beings created by the Valar, cast in their own mould, and as close to perfection as any living creature could get. Long ago, these perfect beings had left for the peace of the Grey Havens, and yet it appeared that one was left. Why? And did High Elves really have as much power as this girl seemed to have? So many questions needing answers. Answers which, he realised ruefully, he was unlikely to get.
