The people in this inn were indeed friendly.
"I am Dorelnar, may the star people bless and guide you." smiled the man nodding his head as a gester of greeting. Soronume noticed he named the star people, what dealings had he had with them he wondered. Soronume glanced at Elwen, she was listening to the stranger, never taking her eyes from him. "I have travelled over many mountains in search of someone i lost long ago. She was a star maiden, but few remain so upon this earth that is why I was surprised by the lady's light. seldom do people of the stars retain what is theirs, most become simple elven people."
Te stranger paused to take a breath and noted that the other maiden had not taken her eyes from Soronume since he had returned to the table.
"This maiden i was searching for went by many names. She was in the sky a brillant star and her people were sad to let her leave but you see they had no choice. For she was dieing. She had fallen in love with a spirit tied to the earth and the pain she was carring was slow killing her spirit from the inside." Dorelnar smiled, he glanced at Elwen but she avoided his eyes, tears forming in the corners of hers.
"I met her when she had first fallen but she had lost much of her memory of the sky."
Dorelnar sat back sighing. "And so you see, i have travelled ever since looking for this maid."
