“My grandmother was always telling us stories of you and little Win...ah, I suppose he’s older than me though, isn’t he? But that’s how she always talked about him. In any case, she very much admired you,” Sheyne said as she poured some tea. Ah, so that was how she had recognized me without ever having met me. I had told Nonna in the end that I was a high elf, but it seemed Sheyne didn’t know.

The tea cakes served alongside the tea matched perfectly, having a consistency that was firm but not hard, and carrying a full flavor from the butter baked into it. Tea hadn’t been all that common when I last visited the Alliance, but now it was being served not only like it was natural and common, but with appropriately matching snacks and everything. It was a strange sight.

I noticed the young girl I met watching me from a distance. It was Sheyne’s daughter, Nonna’s great-granddaughter...if I recalled, her name was Aina. Apparently curious about this elf she didn’t recognize, the way she stared bashfully from afar was honestly adorable. It made me want to invite her over and share the snacks with her, but that would just get her yelled at by her mother later.

As much as the inn had preserved its relaxed atmosphere from my last visit, teaching this girl to beg for handouts from customers wouldn’t do her any favors. That said, I highly doubted my leftover cakes would be served to other guests, so there was a good chance they’d end up with Aina anyway. So I made sure to leave some behind, and focused on enjoying the tea instead.

A pleasant feeling of nostalgia filled my heart. I was really glad I had come. When I had first set off on my journey to the east, I hadn’t been ready to accept losing more people I cared about, like Nonna and Kawshman. But now, things were different.

I couldn’t be sure just how much I had changed in the decade or so I had been gone. I had seen many things, thought through many things, and felt like I had gained much, but from my perspective, I didn’t feel like I had changed significantly.

But I suppose that’s how things went. As small a step as it may have been, I was sure I had taken at least one forward. Out of my thousand-year lifespan, that’s about as much as I could hope for in only a decade or so. What mattered was that I could now accept that feeling of loss I had been afraid of back then.

When I had first left for my journey east, I probably could have met Nonna one last time while she was still alive, but I had chosen not to. There was nothing to be gained from regretting that choice now.

I glanced over to Aina and gave her a smile, prompting the young girl to blush and patter away. Though she had been quite energetic and assertive when she first met me, after calming down somewhat, she had grown quite a bit more bashful.
