An Unlikely Friendship: First Glance
It seemed like today was going to be like any other day of scouting. He'd taken it upon himself to go further than he usually did: the edge of their woods. The elf moved lithely through the trees, making no noise as he went. He was very skilled and well trained. It seemed there was nothing afoot, so perhaps it was time to head back.
However, something caught his attention as he began to turn! The sound of hooves could be heard! He slipped behind a tree so he was completely out of sight. Was it perhaps man crossing their border? He gave a silent, inward sigh. They'd had problems with mankind in the past. He'd hate to return home with news that man had come this way....again. Yet as he peeked around the edge of the tree, his eyes widened. What was that?! Who was that?!
Standing in the sunlight, gorgeous and unlike anything he'd ever seen before, stood a man....but he was half horse! He'd only heard about them but never seen one in person. It was very obviously a male, strong and muscled, the sun reflecting off his tanned shoulders. His blonde hair was like a beautiful beacon in the sun. He was...stunning and glorious.
The elf was so surprised that he'd let his guard down! And indeed, as the centaur made his way past, his gaze shifted to look over at the tree where the elf was watching him in utter surprise.
The centaur's eyes widened slightly. An elf! Though this was unlike the other elves he'd heard about. There was a wild beauty to him. He'd always heard that elves were agile and the best hunters. You'd never see one but...there one was and it looked shocked to be seeing him: a centaur. A tiny smirk tugged the corner of the centaur's lips, amused by his expression. "Greetings, He-Elf."
