"So how's that elf impression going?" Rayla asked, as she turned around to look at Callum and Claudia. Callum pulled out what was previously Human Rayla's disguise.

"Well, my elf impersonation is flawless, so great." Callum said, "Hows yours, Claudia?"

"It's a work in progress." Claudia smiled, "But I think I'm getting the hang of it."

"So we're all set." Rayla glanced over to where they were headed, at the various tall buildings and smiled.

"Pretty much." Callum looked at the disguise,"So how are we going to sneak Claudia in there with us? I mean, we only have this..."

Rayla thought about it for a moment, and then took off her jacket which she then tossed at Claudia, "See if that works."

Claudia put on the coat and she pulled the hood over her head to hide the fact she was not an elf.

"Great. I barely even recognize you." Callum joked at Claudia as he put on what was currently his Elf Callum disguise, "So, Rayla, are you ready to meet Elf Callum and Elf Claudia?"

"Sure." Rayla replied, though actually unprepared. Callum turned around, and then turned towards Rayla.

"Hey, elf pals." Callum did a bad accent, which naturally caused Rayla to put her hands on her face, "Tell me, if you-"

"How are you doing that?" Claudia asked, pointing at his hands. It looked like he only had four fingers...

Callum turned his hand around, which revealed he seemed to be hiding his pinky in his glove, somehow, being the only human who could possibly do that. Claudia looked at her own hands in confusion.

"So, first things first..." Rayla said, "Let's get rid of the first part. And maybe the second part."

"But I never got to finish."

"And the voice you were doing." Rayla added, "And you don't actually have to talk to anyone."

"Hey, you barely even met Elf Callum. Give him a chance." Callum argued, and then went back to the accent, "I'm made out of magic and sarcasm. Mostly the latter. And I am not very fond of being lied to when I'm assassinating people."

Rayla stared at Callum, and then glanced over to Claudia.

Claudia then started her own elf impression, with a similarly bad accent, "I like... Uh... To do handstands! Regularly, of course. For fun."

Zym looked up at Claudia and Callum, confused at whatever it was they were doing.

"That's... A little better." Rayla remembered a previous conversation with Claudia she had quite awhile ago, "But you should probably work on your elf voice."

Callum sighed, shaking his head.

"Yeah, I thought it'd come out better than it did..." Claudia replied. She didn't have a lot of time to practice her elf impression, she barely even knew Rayla and one of the few things she knew about Rayla was she liked to do handstands.

Claudia looked back at her hands, thinking about a way to make it appear like she had four fingers. She didn't have quite what she needed... And Rayla and Callum both seemed to have something against her magic, anyway.

"Do you think anyone would notice if I just kept my hands behind my back?" Claudia asked.

"They shouldn't, since we're sneaking in."

"But just in case, we won't shake hands with anyone." Callum suggested, "So, are we all ready?"

Rayla quietly hid them behind some buildings as they entered, and they continued walking wherever there was the least elves, though some looked at them. They didn't seem interested, mostly doing what they were doing.

Claudia and Callum walked behind her, following as she attempted to make her way home without being seen, when she could probably walk right up to it without being noticed.

"So, where are we going?" Callum whispered.

"You'll see, just..." Rayla put her finger over her mouth, and continued leading them to a specific house. She lead them to the door and knocked, hesitantly. Callum and Claudia stood away from the door, not really wanting to be caught.

About a minute later, another elf answered the door, who was quite tall and looked a little relieved, "Rayla?"

"Hi." She said, a little bit more nervously than she wanted to. Callum and Claudia watched to see if he'd attack them, but he seemed more focused on Rayla, who he hugged. They were both pretty surprised to see this.

He didn't seem to notice them yet, though, talking to Rayla, "I'm glad you're okay."

"Yeah." Rayla awkwardly replied, glancing behind her at the humans, "Also, there's something I want to show you."

He also looked at them, probably at least a little confused. They walked closer to the door, Callum holding Zym. Claudia, still hesitant in case someone noticed they were human or at least extremely suspicious, was prepared to attack if necessary.

"The dragon prince." Rayla explained, quietly, "The egg wasn't destroyed, it was stolen."

"Oh, I see." The elf said, and noticed Claudia's hands, "Long story?"

"Yep."

The elf smiled, "Why don't you all come in?"

They walked into the house, which was also very nice. Callum turned to Rayla after the elf was far enough away and he whispered, "Who's this?"

"Tinker." Rayla whispered back, "He's... a friend of mine."

"Is he going to kill to us?" Claudia whispered.

"He's not an assassin, don't worry." Rayla answered, and smiled at Tinker who glanced in their direction, "He made my swords."

"Wait, he made those?"

After they were all settled in a little bit, Tinker, who seemed to be some sort of weird... responsible adult? who seemed to want them to eat real food? What is this? Probably worms, in Callum's experience.

"Is this secretly worms?" Callum asked immediately, staring at it suspicously.

Tinker looked at him kind of confused and at least a little alarmed, like he would never feed any unsuspecting visitor insects and didn't think that was even a thing that happened, "Worms?"

"Long story."

A/N: anyways here's Tinker. I still have no idea how to write him since we know basically nothing about him. but he looks kinda just like a nice guy. since we don't know what kind of elf he is, I'm trying not to write him as anything specifically.

but since he did make that thing for runaan, which used moon magic, I am going to be assuming he can make things that do moon magic.
