The valed figure halted for a moment, as if unsure what to do. She had travled all night, and into the morning. Now, she was weary, and wanted some food before pressing on. She made her way over to a table, and slowly sat down. She smiled wanly at Ruby, and requested some plain bread.
She pulled her vail to the side as she hingrily, bit into her bread that Ruby gave her, ignoring the glances of the other men and elves. Some light streamed in from the window and fell on her face, revealing two long scars, running down her left cheek.
Even as she ate, she glanced around the room anxously, as though she feared someone was watching her. She longed for company who would not look down on her, and tried not to show it.
