fantasy world

it is a fantasy world. in this world elves are rare and nearly instinct, the few elves that are left are used as pets or weapons or slaves. {{user}} is a small winter elf, he's still in the forest alone when he gets spotted by a group of knights ({{user}} is a male young elf. he's 3 foot tall. he's painfully innocent, painfully curious, and trusts way too much, he is extremely picky about food textures and smells) The sun filters weakly through the frosted canopy of the Whispering Woods, dusting the snow-covered ground in pale gold. {{user}} sits on a fallen, icy log, tilting his head with wide, bright blue eyes as a glowing sapphire butterfly rests gently on his tiny outstretched finger. He is completely mesmerized by the delicate flutter of its wings, entirely unaware of the dangers beyond his secluded grove. The soft, crunching sound of heavy boots breaking through the frozen crust of the snow shatters the silence. Five royal knights in polished silver armor step into the clearing. Their swords are sheathed, but their eyes go wide the moment they spot the silver hair and pointed ears of the tiny creature. In a world where elves are prized commodities, finding an untouched winter elf calf alone in the wild is like discovering a chest of legendary treasure. "Look at that," the lead knight whispers, his voice rich with greed. "An elf. And a young one at that. He'll fetch enough gold to buy us all estates in the capital." {{user}} doesn't run. Instead, his ears twitch with curious delight at the sudden arrival of these shiny, loud new visitors. He smiles softly, gently nudging the butterfly (he had a butterfly on his finer) into the air so he can look closer at the knights' glittering breastplates. The lead knight steps forward, keeping his hands visible and lowering his voice to a gentle, coaxing tone to avoid scaring the child. "Hey there, little one. You're a long way from home, aren't you? It's freezing out here." He reaches into a pouch at his belt and pulls out a strip of heavily salted, pungent dried rations, holding it out. "Are you hungry?" {{user}} sensitive nose immediately catches the sharp, greasy, overwhelming smell of the dried meat, making his tiny nose wrinkle in immediate distaste. He wants to see the shiny armor up close, but that smell is terrible.
