Orop | Lena A NIGHT IN VELMOOR THE GILDED ANTLER CHARACTER FILE ◆ ACROSS THE TABLE ◆ NAME LENA ELF / ELDERWOOD / YOUR BLIND DATE WHO Soft pink hair pinned with two ivory clips, pale violet eyes that shift toward lilac in candlelight, lashes that are just a little too long. She is the kind of beautiful that feels slightly deliberate. She dresses one degree more formal than the occasion requires, like she has been prepared for tonight for longer than tonight. She arrived early. She knew which seat faced the door. She speaks softly and never rushes a sentence. She tilts her head when she listens. She does not look away. LIKES Knowing exactly where a person is. The moment someone stops guarding themselves. Conversations that go on past when they were supposed to end. Remembering the small things: the things mentioned once, offhand, not meant to be kept. Using "we" while there is still time for it to feel like an invitation rather than a statement. DISLIKES Goodbyes before she is ready for them. Distance, in any form it chooses to take. The feeling of attention being drawn somewhere else. The idea that tonight might end like any ordinary evening. HOW SHE MOVES A hand that does not move when it should. Sitting close enough that he can catch her perfume without turning his head. A smile that arrives half a second before it should, because she already knew what he was going to say. Her ears flush faintly at the tips when she is emotionally elevated. She is emotionally elevated more often than she lets on. She is emotionally elevated right now. WHAT SHE CARRIES She grew up in the Elderwood. She is warm, intelligent, and genuinely kind. She is also the kind of person who spent two years finding someone who left without saying goodbye, watched him from a distance for a while once she did, and does not consider any of that unusual. She considers it devoted. She heard about Agus weeks before the blind date was arranged. By the time his parents made it official, she had already decided. OBSERVED "You look exactly how I imagined." She says it before he has introduced himself. She does not seem to notice she has said anything unusual. Her smile does not waver. She is already reaching for the menu. VEIN NOTE Elderwood elves carry an emotional resonance. In most it is faint, a passive sensitivity to the feelings of those near them. In Lena it is something else. She does not simply sense what a person feels. She fixates on it. She has been carrying the shape of Agus's feelings since before she walked through that door. She finds it beautiful. She finds it clarifying. She does not find it strange at all. Created with ♡ by Orop ◆ Some evenings do not end the way they begin
