The 9th Day of the 10th Moon
I did not have a chance to read today because I went on a mission to try to see the elves. They brought a strange bodyguard. He is human, short, fat, almost dwarf-like, and seems fairly grouchy. Why they brought a human, I do not know. I also saw him snarl at several servants, but in such a way that I do not think may people noticed. I am not sure why anyone, especially elves, would bring such a rude man as their guard when trying to be diplomatic. I got a brief glimpse of one of the elven ambassadors; I heard from Akma that there are two as well as a bodyguard. He was tall, wore a cloak that covered most of his features, I did not get a good look. He walked with an almost regal stride. It looked like he had black hair; never knew elves had anything other than blond. Akma said that blond is just the typical, he apparently met a few elves when he lived at the ports. Akma said he will tell me more of his history tomorrow. I cannot wait. I also found out from a servant, who Franklin did not deal with much, where the elves will be eating morning meal tomorrow, so maybe I can get a better look. None of the servants seem very thrilled to have the elves here, mainly because of the bodyguard and not the elves. It seems a few do not trust the elves either. Seems as though here in Dovan there is much higher contempt for elves than in Lypo. Not sure why.
