I had been travelling with Eliza for quite some time now, though I could not say that we knew each other well enough to be friends. As far as I was concerned, I was merely being paid for whatever services she required, and that was that. She never spoke often to me, save for giving me directions or simply making observational comments. No real conversation. I could appreciate that myself, for my people had no particular love for lengthy speech. 

The most she spoke to me of was her mission to find some sort of stone. I supposed she assumed I knew what it was, for she hadn't given me any real information about this stone, only that it seemed that nearly the whole world was looking for it. I suppose it must be important, then, only she'd told me that her mission was to destroy it. I know nothing of magic stones nor do I care that the other people wish to squabble over it. My people care not for the outside world or its happenings. Though she did seem to be relieved that I hadn't argued with her. Perhaps many do not wish this trinket to be destroyed. But again, I know very little about it. I left the leadership of my Clan to one of the Elders to go on this journey. His name is Galdenaz, he had been my tutor for a great period of my life. I trust him with that responsibility.

Presently, we came upon a road and were almost immediately greeted by an elf-man. I do not know his language, so I cannot tell what he said. Eliza seems to have understood him, however, and the aura is not hostile. I shall keep my blades sheathed, for now.
I readjusted the pack I had been tasked with carrying. It wasn't heavy, but I suspected that Eliza couldn't as easily carry it herself. It is, after all, why I am here.

Edit:
I had never seen the elf before now, but I recall Eliza mentioning just such a person in passing...what had she told me? Aside from 'being a friend', I cannot recall if she'd said anything more. Perhaps it was indeed this elf-man that she had been referring to. In truth, I had [i]never[/i] seen an elf before--Dremora rarely travel far from the clans, and it is common opinion among us that elves are not fond of us. Though, because I had never seen one before, I cannot yet verify if that is true. This elf seemed to look just like a human to me, save for his ears, which looked more similarly to that of my own people, only straighter. I could now understand why humans frequently asked us if we were related to these elves--but I am not sure that we are. We differ in appearance too much, I think.
