"Uhh," managed Ranma. "Right. I was actually wishing for a way to fix some problems..."
"Okay," said the elf. "Let's see what we can come up with. If nothing else I come from a completely different background and I can offer a different perspective."
"Weren't you darker a moment ago?" asked Ranma.
"I started out as a surface elf, became a drow, then died," said Elle. "As I'm starting over, it was decided that I should be a surface elf again. I can change though if you prefer the darker look."
"Ah, that's okay," said Ranma.
"So, what's normal for the meeting of two to be engaged in your own customs? Is it true that we are supposed to fight to demonstrate our mutual worthiness?" asked Elle.
"Uhm, no," said Ranma. "It's been a long day, kinda."
"So, what next?" asked Elle. "There are customs among the surface elves, customs among the dark elves, and I'm unclear as to customs among humans of this world."
"Ya know I've got other arranged engagements and stuff, right?" asked Ranma, biting the bullet as it were.
"Yes, and they're human, right?" asked Elle.
"Uh, yeah," said Ranma, wondering if Kodachi qualified.
"So I'll give you a century or two to get over them," said Elle with a shrug. "I'm patient. I'm not sure about some of my old associates."
"...'a century or two'..." mumbled Ranma.
"My fiance," said Elle gently, "you are now an elf. Very human looking, but an elf. You will remain young and vital for centuries beyond their lifetime. You will still be learning more of your martial arts and perfecting those arts further centuries after they have passed from this life."
