Ciri took a deep breath and smiled pleasantly at the hobbits and dwarves. "Surely you are hungry and thirsty after your long journey." She gestured to the side and a young elf-maiden rushed up. "If you wish anything to refresh you, please, speak!"
The hobbits and dwarves were all a little in awe of the elves, and did not speak. "A light lunch it is!" laughed Ciri, and the younger maiden rushed off.
"Now, friends, we should probably look over our route." The elf-woman gestured to the map lying on a nearby table.
