Captain, sorry put I feel I should point this out. It seems like De is responding to Erahja, and Erahja is a Rakasha (kind of like elder scrolls Kahjit) and they can't really be mistaken for elves. She is also older that De so I'm not sure the 'girl' part is right either. You might have had her confused for her (adoptive) brother, who is the elf^^
