This was ridiculous. She was a High Elf! How dare this stranger speak to her like this. Of course, he wasn't really a stranger to her, but she was a stranger to him. Wood elves weren't supposed to laugh at her!

With a start, she caught herself. The only thing that was ridiculous here was herself. She had been alone for too long to remember how to react to people. The elf had shown compassion and loyalty while he was speaking to her, qualities that she would do well to imitate. Moreover, he appeared to have cured her of that overwhelming melancholy.
Her conflicting emotions gave in, and a giggle escaped from her lips.

What about his proposal? If she were to remain here, he would almost certainly alert others to her presence, whereas if she went, he would keep temporarily quiet, and she could use the time with him to convince him to say nothing at all.
It wasn't only that though. There was a longing in her for company, of any sort. She could look upon her time away from this place as a break, a time to gather her feelings and, for a short time at least, feel like part of the world again.

The decision was made. Laughing now, and glad of the lighthearted feeling it brought her, she nodded.
"I'll come."
