The aftermath of the undead armies of Ramses left Kuroi's beautiful world broken and destroyed, it pained him so much to see his world in shambles, his realm would take time to recover from the damage, portals opened from many different dimensions allowing most anyone entry into this place.
The sun no longer shined, the skies were grey and covered in darkness and the trees were wilted looking and dying. Elven corpses lay across the ground as they are reclaimed by the soil to which they lay on.
In the midst of his realm through the vast trees that seemed to draw people there was a log cabin, inside was a vast open arrangement of drinks, a bartender and musical entertainment. Among the furniture were many love seats and couches near an opened fireplace.
Kuroi looked inside seeing the room was almost empty except for a few souls, the young elven teen wandered to a couch near the fire and began to sit by himself alone staring into the fire trying to pretend that this never happened.

*Alice walked into the cabin and the breeze followed her in swirling around her hair and dress. She made her way over to the fire and sat on the hearth, warming herself.*

Kuroi looked up from his lonesomeness to see the young lady, he began to stare at her curiously for a moment before he quickly moved his head and shifted his eyes away hoping the young lady didn't notice him.

*After awhile she began to regain feeling in her limbs and started to pay attention to her surroundings. It was a pleasant little cabin with few occupants, most strange, but there was a young elf sitting on the couch in front of her, and she realized that she must be blocking his heat.* Oh I'm sorry! *She stood up self-consciously and moved over to another sofa nearby.*

Kuroi looked back at her seeing that she seemed kind, he smiled at her graciously and began to speak softly, "No I am sorry" he said thinking she noticed him staring at her.
"I didn't mean to stare, please forgive my rudeness" he said as he huddled into the corner of the couch.

*She looked confused.* You stared at me? It couldn't have been much of a stare because I didn't even notice. *She smiled warmly. In truth, she is a little scatterbrained and he could have stared at her for minutes without her noticing. However, she didn't seem to understand this about herself. She looked at the Elf.* Are you familiar with these lands? I just stopped for the night. This looks like a nice place to rest for a few days.

Kuroi smiled and nodded, "Yes I am familiar with them but there isn't much left after the undead ravaged them.... it will take time for them to heal to their former beauty" he said with a half smile. He felt he couldn't trust anyone, if anyone was still aware of him still being alive, a low profile was definitely best.
"My name is Kuroi... What is your name?" he said as he took his oak staff and placed it to the side of the couch. The emerald atop of it was a symbol of life and was a hint to Kuroi's identity in this land.

My name is Alice. There is never much left after the undead decide to destroy it, unfortunately. Nasty little minions they are. *She curled her nose in distaste. Then she looked at Kuroi's staff.* That's a beautiful staff. I've never seen one like it. *She loved staffs they were her weapon of choice, however for this particular job she needed something a little more potent and she'd left her's behind. Being from a different land, she didn't recognize his particular staff she was simply admiring the craftsmanship.* It must have been very expensive or an extraordinary gift.

Kuroi placed his hand on the staff and held it loosely for a moment, "I made it myself...." he said with a shy response. His eyes gave off his innocence, but it allowed you to see that despite his shy personality he held a great amount of knowledge and power that he was trying to keep hidden and secret.

*She looked at him for a second then back to the staff.* You made this? Do you make staffs as a profession?

Kuroi's blush grew a little brighter, "No... You might say I felt the need to make this, it is very special to me, you might call it a symbol of my hardships just like these..." he said as he grabbed some of his hair and showed off the tribal jewelry and Ornaments that were embedded in it.

*She grinned again.* Those are lovely beads. *She had no adornments, no jewelry, and her hair was unkempt due to her travels. She began to rub at her hands a little uncomfortably.* Well, Kuroi, may I ask why you're sitting alone looking all forlorn?

Kuroi's attention sparked, his long ears wiggled lightly but adorably, "Well... um..." he began to say almost seemingly afraid to answer the question. Kuroi had the powers of a God but just couldn't find the confidence to be brave even with that behind him.
"It's a long story.... you probably won't be interested" he said trying to avoid the question.

*She glared at him a little.* I've been walking for weeks. A long story gives me an excuse to sit for a long time.

Even though Alice was on another couch he felt a little intimidated, he crouched closer to his couch and began to speak softly and shyly, "Well... I'm an Elf... and I live here..." he said not really sure how to continue he really didn't want to say more but he was starting to feel pressured and the idea of her coming closer was making him even more uneasy.
