Laketown Romeo

 

Marten eyed the elf-maid drunkenly.  She was tall and slender, the prettiest elf-maid he’d ever seen – not that he’d seen many, admittedly.  And her hair –  long, blonde, silky, it shone like – like sunlight, he thought, in a sudden burst of poetry.

 

Seizing his chance, Marten scurried over to the elf-maid, laying his hand on her arm. “ ’Ello, gorgeous,” he murmured winningly.

 

His hand was held in a vice-like grip.  “Remove your hand, ere I remove it for you!” snapped a cold voice.  Startled, Marten looked up – into a beautiful, undeniably male face.

 

“Your pardon, sir – ‘twas an honest mistake!”
