Adu noticed something wasn't right. For some reason it seemed like he was hiding something from her."Fáinu, what happened to your right hand?" She noticed that the bandage was in need of desperate change. She looked up at the elf. The look on his face told it all. "Forgive me. I did not mean to be asking about something that is none of my business. I'm sorry." Adu remembered the last time she asked someone about an injury. Dorian had locked her up for a few days in her room.
Old memories seemed to haunt Adu lately. She couldn't seem to get it out of her head. Why would she remember a dead tyrant like Dorian. He no longer had a hold on her or her life. "Fáinu, you should get those bandages replaced." Adu reached to the pack setting beside her. "Here let me see it. I won't hurt you at all." While she was in her pack, Adu grab a piece of Lembas bread before sticking a piece in her mouth. She made a gesture of ofference. "Want some?" Adu smiled and her eyes "sparkled". For once in her life she was actually happy to be around another elf. Perhaps his story isn't as different from mine. Perhaps his past isn't full of nothing but torture and deception.
