*Secures cargo & steals into the forest*

Pray tell, my lady. What brings you out here at this time of night?

*Pauses only a moment, she glances over shoulder to where the knight stood*

A matter of mercy, prince, which stirs feet to earth at this late hour.

If it is mercy you give, please, allow me to assist.

My thanks for your offering of assistance but these creatures are wary of Men.

I will keep my distance then, however, you should not wander unescorted. Allow me to at least do that.

I fear your presence would undermine my good will toward these people.

I am never unescorted. My father and brother vouchsafe my protection even now.

I.. do not understand. However, I will believe your assertions.

The Forest, from the tips of the highest trees to the smallest creature, has grown angry and suffers greatly from a war waged by world of Men. I would fear for your safety should you enter it.

*keeps a vigilant watch from within the forest, quietly shadowing her*

*The elf princess kneels, gently unloads her promised aid, gauze, medicines, medical supplies, and blankets for use and the benefit the beings of the forest in this time of great stress*

*moves silently towards her from between the trees, head raised, ears forward* You return at a difficult time, friend.

*Sits back and raises her head to watch the Great Prince's approach, hands remembering war lingering in silent count of medicines and amounts, and silently wishing she could have brought and done so more than this token offering*

Difficult times are in need of the greatest care, Prince.
