A voice startled her which caused her to turn with her hackles raised only to see a young man, who could be only one at the most standing, there respectfully. He looked curious.

She thought that perhaps he just wanted to say hi was all and if he wanted to talk, he could walk around her to face her while she worked. Elli was stubborn that way that day.
