115. Baby Elf

They'd never thought it possible:
they'd never felt those feelings before
and they were made for other things

But how were elves born? When the current ones
grew old and died? Just like humans
they discovered; after all, they were both once freed
to kind masters now, who'd given them orders
to do what they willed, and they wanted to try
because they'd seen the happiness that sprung
from their new Master's birth, and their own glowing cheeks

So they tried, they explored tentatively at first
and grew more confident, and more distraught
as it went on, and failed

But then they had success, and a baby elf
that was the symbol of their love.

Their happiness wouldn't dry for a while
but the tears soon dried.
