Just a note. While to a human eye she doesn't really look old, to an elf, she'd be the equivalent of a sixty year old. Early elderly, not quite to the point you'd consider them infirm, but you certainly give them deference. In terms of years, that'd but her at around 3-4 centuries old.
"I have taken to the task to tend it, yes," She says with a nod, "Lilara is my name, and I appreciate your approval. It was once a simple garden. Just a little project to remind me of home, but it grew over the years to be my home, and a reminder for many elves that pass through here. Though it does still get referred to as 'the garden' from when it was first made. Unfortunately, living in human lands does still require coinage, but I hope the fee isn't too steep." She pauses to look you over, "So you are Lorthin's new protegee?" She tilts her head, shifting her attention to Nekothra, who has decided to take the opportunity to lie in some soft undergrowth, clearly enjoying the feeling of home as much as you are. "Beast tamer... a rare talent... No wonder you caught his eye."

Me- "Posh, shame is for fools and people with friends... we need no such things, we have the internet."
