Elora fell asleep as the rain continued to sound, though she was no longer soaked from it. She was dry in her new home, humming as she made a small fire to dry out her clothes, changing into a set of dry ones she had kept in the small pack on her back. Sleep came easily to the elf, and she began renovating the hut she had claimed, working immediately as daylight came.
About a week into finding the village, Elora found herself finally done with repairs on her own hut. As the day came to an end, Elora had almost explored each of the abandoned tree houses, left behind by those now forgotten. They didn't seem to have been killed, or at least not here. No sign of struggles, nor any sign of really anything left behind. No, Elora thought, whoever had been here had left of their own accord.
She was so lost in her thoughts that she almost missed the small noise coming from the last house she had yet to visit. It didn't sound like an animal, but it didn't quite sound human. Another species, then? Elora proceeded with caution; she had been here long enough to know that no one was staying here. She should have been alone. A few strange things had come and gone, not interesting in buying whatever Elora was selling them, even though she told them it was just going to be a village, that she wasn't actually trying to sell them anything. So far, no one had listened, and though Elora had been lonely, she was getting by, already finding a good gathering area, extracting some seeds to plant later.
"Hello?" Elora called out, stopping just before the door to the house. "I know someone is over there, and I'd like you to reveal yourself before I strike." She knocked on the door, and before she could reach for the doorknob it flew open, and a spooked looking harpy was inside, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Strike?!" He exclaimed, gazing all around at Elora's figure for a weapon. "Please tell me you're kidding. I'm only here to rest my wings. I didn't realize it was an already claimed spot, so I apologize. I'll take my leave and rest somewhere else. Maybe a nice stream will do, and I'll just let it carry me down to the ends of the earth..."
Elora stared at the harpy as he rambled on, dramatically throwing his right hand across his forehead like he was withering away. Elora could see that the stranger was dirty, and needed to rest, but his eyes were alight with humor. He glanced at Elora and smirked, making her heart jump a little before she shook her head.
"No." She said, and the harpy raised an eyebrow, frowning slightly as if thinking his humor was lost on her. "I mean, no, as in you don't have to do that. You can stay. And... if you'd like, help me start this village." The harpy let out a bird-like laugh, smiling giddily, before Elora realized what she had said and blushed deeply. "Not like that, you pervert! I just meant help me recruit people."
The harpy chuckled once more, and turned his happy smile on Elora. "I know what you meant, elf. I was just having a bit of fun. Truthfully, I've been watching you a while and knew you were settling here; I've seen all those other people come and go as well, but I like your attitude and perseverance, which is why I waited here. I wanted to ask you to join you, but you beat me to it."
Elora smiled herself now, a rare thing to see on the elf. "Well, I'll be glad to have you. My name is Elora Brydon, by the way."
Another heart jolting smile. Gosh, this harpy knew he was handsome... He extended a feathered arm, letting Elora shake it.
"Seraphim; a pleasure to meet you, my fair Elora. Now, let me see about getting us some food." He barely waited for Elora to catch his name before he took off into the sky, all thoughts of resting apparently forgotten, though Elora now wasn't sure if he even needed to rest. His demeanor changed completely after she gave him an invitation to stay, exhaustion gone.
"Stupid harpy," Elora mumbled, disgruntled at his quick exit. "Barely let me say anything before he takes off."
Busying herself with organizing the storage hut, as she dubbed it, the sun was just starting its retreat when a quiet beat of wings told her that Seraphim had returned.
"Meat!" He said excitedly, depositing a wet fish in front of Elora. "Much better than that green stuff you picked the other day." Seraphim wrinkled his nose at the nearby zucchini, very nearly sticking his tongue out at it. "I think this will be much better. Get some protein, because I daresay you've had enough green vegetables for a while."
Elora resisted the urge to roll her eyes. He was a child in an adult's body. "I prefer zucchini to salmon," she said flatly, not looking at the harpy as she finished up her organization.
"Eew!" Serpahim said, looking at Elora with an appalled expression. "I don't know if we can get along, Elora."
That earned him a scowl, and he laughed again, putting up his hands in a gesture of apology. "Didn't mean it," he said, watching Elora carefully as she started a fire, grabbing a zucchini to cook up. Seraphim's stomach gave an audible growl, causing Elora to raise an eyebrow.
"You can cook on this fire. I won't try to burn you with it." She said, skeptically looking at her new village member. He shuffled his feet slightly, giving Elora a bashful look before looking at the ground. He looked like a lost puppy.
"I, uh... well, this is embarrassing, telling someone I just met but... I burn everything I try to cook."
Elora sighed, not able to resist, holding her hand out for the fish, still keeping her eyes on the fire. She missed the sight of the victory dance Seraphim did, happy that he had been able to trick her so easily, though she gave him pause when she said "I'm only doing this because I want to share this fish, not because I believe you can't cook." Seraphim stopped in his short dance, giving Elora a mock glare.
"Well you're no fun," he pouted, though he drifted lazily to sit beside the fire, continuing to make conversation with the elf as the pair shared a meal.
