"Grilka was in the dungeon?" Ren asked, surprised. They paused, considering. "Actually, I've thought abou' it and decided I ain't actually surprised at all. Still, y'think ey'd be a bit more sympathetic," Ren complained. "I tell ya what, yer majesty, the more I learn about you people, th' less sense anything makes."
The King looked incredibly unsubtle with his costume all the way on, but honestly, he'd look even less subtle if they could tell he was an unearthly beautiful porcelain white man with blue, slitted eyes, so. Y'know. Take what you can get. She slid down the hay hand in hand with the King, and thought she could pretend they were normal. Well. Normal-ish. She could pretend and have a wonderful last day in Aeris and wait for him to get distracted, like he very nearly had with Tits McGee there, not that she could particularly blame him. This was a distraction minefield, and he was susceptible. Eventually, a squirrel or a naked woman would run by.
He grabbed her hand again to pull her through the crowd, and she laced her fingers with his and hoped he wouldn't notice that she'd done it. She wasn't sure she'd ever held hands like this before. If she had, it had been well over a decade ago, with hands much smaller than she had now.
She reached out eagerly for the turkey wing, bouncing up and down and looking about ready to swallow it whole. Another elf in the cart, a woman, leaned forward onto the sill, smiling down at her. Ren was already biting into the turkey leg. It was crunchy and crispy and oily and so hot that she burned her lips and didn't care. She sucked in air as she ate, swallowing before it could burn her more and relishing in the steam coming off of the inside of the meat.
"Aren't you a lil small t'be an adventurer, lil guy?" the elf asked. "What are ya, fifteen?"
"I'm twenny," Ren informed the woman, voice dropped an octave and mouth full of another bite of turkey. "An' I'm a very powerful wizard."
"Aww, listen t' that accent! Y'got a lil elf in ya?" the woman asked.
"No, er, uh... Not to my knowledge, anyway," Ren admitted. She didn't think so. Her ears were very round.
"D'ya want a lil elf in ya?" she asked, grinning broadly. Ren flushed darker, scootching over to cling to the King's side, as if she might hide behind him. The woman laughed loudly. "Cute!"
"Makes sense," she reasoned. "You stick your tongue out enough." She settled in, leaning comfortably against his head, horns against her ribs. She tangled one hand idly in his hair, because it was the fair and she was already kind of drunk.
"Clouds, so many," she said with an embarrassed laugh. "Like I can't fuckin' smell 'em the second their juices start flowing. You'd think they'd learn. The King's the worst, though, because if you find him at it all he does is try and drag you in." She never knew what to do with the King's attention when she was SUPPOSED to be doing the job HE gave her, so mostly she did everything up to and including chasing him off with a broom. It had worked right up until he snapped the broom in two one day, and then she hadn't gotten any more work done the whole damn day.
She reached down to pull a piece of his spun sugar off, despite the fact that she could have just as easily grabbed her own. Her stomach turned with too many sweets, though, and she already knew she was going to be sick tomorrow. She shoved it into her mouth and let it melt on her tongue, her tail fwapping idly across his back as it started to wag in slow arcs.
"Not all elves know each other, Gareth," she said sarcastically. "That's racist." She sucked sugar off her fingers. "But yeah, actually, I know a Grandpa Buck. He's my uncle. Well, great-great-great-great-etc." Her elven blood was so thin to be nonexistent, but her Uncle--technically ultimate grandfather--still lived with the family on their farm. "Uncle Corey's cousin technically I think, maybe through marriage, but you know how things get fucking confusing as shit. Dunno if he's the one you're looking for, but I think he's actually here today. Somewhere."
