(( So, we could start, right? ))
Whisper rounded the building that she had been perched on, not too long ago, and walked past a group of humans. They pointed at her elongated ears, since she was an elf, and started whispering excitedly. She blushed as one of the boys came up to her and began talking.
"Hey, elf girl" He smiled with the most straight and white teeth that Whisper had ever seen. He wore rags for clothes, but managed to make it look good on his muscular frame. Whisper turned her head, pretending not to have heard him. "Elf girl!" he said louder. This was loud enough that even a deaf person could have heard. Finally, she turned around slowly and smiled.
"Yes? What is it that you need?" She asked. The boy smiled, not like before. This smile was an evil and malicious one. He pulled out a dead flower and held it out to her, in his open palm.
"Heal this." He said, in an order-like voice. When Whisper shook her head, and averted her eyes to a nearby fountain that a few beings were sitting on. "I said, heal this, elf!" He shouted, spitting out the word elf as if it were a curse word. Whisper became frightened and moved her hand over his palm, where the dead flower was. "Now." He said with bitterness. Whisper closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were a dark silver, rather than her usual blue. The boy quivered with fright, but stayed where he was, holding the flower still. When she closed her eyes again, she began moving her lips, as if she were talking, but she wasn't speaking a language that any human would understand. She was speaking to her Earth affinity. The boy was watching this, and became even more scared. When Whisper sensed this, she abandoned the affinity and opened her eyes to find the boy gone. She frowned seeing the dead flower at her feet and she bent down and picked it up.
"I am sorry, little one..." She frowned and put it back on the ground. When all was still, she walked to a nearby fountain and sat down, playing in the water with her fingers.
