Well there he had it; the woman was an elf. He knew she didn't look like any of the other fae he was more familiar with, and her voice was so much nicer on the ears. Jack's gaze shifted to observe her ear when she was kind enough to show it, before moving back to her face. It all made sense now. He felt like an idiot for not realizing it beforehand.

We might have some classes overlapping, and I like to get to know people I will be seeing on a regular basis. I hear the cafeteria has an extremely extensive selection of food."[/color] She had every right to say no, and he would deal with it, but what was so wrong about innocently getting a bite to eat with someone with whom you were socializing? Hopefully nothing.
