"Where is the dragoness? Who are you?"
Rukiyo relaxed slightly when she heard the elf's question, the initial alarm that had been coursing through her subsided somewhat as she comprehended his words.
There's a glint of understanding in her eyes as she realizes that this creature is referring to the original Ryukiyo— it explains the reason behind his strange question and that flicker of recognition in his gaze moments prior.
"Why do you want to know?" She asked, the rigidity of her stance softening as her draconic features slowly faded back into her human disguise, her expression turned less hostile.
She still regards the elf with caution, but there's an undeniable glimmer of understanding in her eyes.
Now calmer, Rukiyo spoke again with a more casual tone. "You're looking for the original dragoness, I presume?"
The elf pursed his lips, eyeing Rukiyo with a deep frown and didn't answer her questions.
