This Elvish Man

“Take heart that your mother is around and knows exactly how you feel.”
“Do you think she is in the room with us now?” Charlotte asked dolefully.

“I can’t really say,” said Puck, who was genuinely aggrieved at his own shortcomings. Of all the things his vision could not penetrate, it turned out that he was not omnipresent after all.

Marley was in the room with them, as often was. And she was seriously rethinking her own absence. Loving this Elvish man was easy from afar, but in reality, how would they be together now? She never really understood the attraction in the first place. But one thing she did know, especially from what this ghostly oversight had revealed: although unconventional, and otherworldly as well, he truly was a good man - one who kept the best interests of this world and its humanity close to his heart.
