[Sigrid has the locket propped up like a mirror on her dresser. Flung over the arm of her chair is a mass of scarlet wool she is sewing into a new gown. Everything else in her room looks, to her, rather sparse and unlived-in. She's never had her own room all to herself. Nervously, she brushes stray hairs away from her face even though they were never in the way.]
I've kept my own house these last six years.
...What I'm saying is I need work, and I'm willing to work. I'm good with children, if you need any looked after. Otherwise I can do chores as you need them. I read and write well, and I sew, cook, spin, and knit. And clean, of course, and do laundry and all. Da taught me ciphering so I could manage our money. Anything else, I can learn.
Thank you.

She's only seen two. Her father has seen a lot more, but he actually leaves town every day. This is definitely a wood-elf, and he's beautiful. More beautiful even than the elf-lady who saved her family. And he knows her. She has no idea how--no, she does, because just because you don't see elves doesn't mean they aren't there. Isn't that why they came in and saved them all from the orcs? Do they watch over her family? Why?]
I...I'm Sigrid.

[ A small smile softens his introduction (hopefully), because while his face isn't terribly well-known, the name of the lord of the Woodland-elves ought to be. ]
I am Thranduil, Elvenking of the realm you must know as Mirkwood. [ Tilting his chin enquiringly, ] Has Caer Glaem been treating you well?

Don't offend the Elvenking. Never, ever offend the Elvenking. He can put a spell on you, or you might disappear for what feels like a moment to you and turns out to be days for everyone else.]

There is little chance of my return before that of one Alayne Stone, a companion of mine who is similarly about her travels. When she is once more within the walls of Caer Glaem, I would urge you to seek her out, for she is a good friend to have and closer to your age than many in the castle.
[ That, in and of itself, ought to provide some little comfort. Sansa is clever too, she'll keep Sigrid safe. ]

Alayne is very kind. So are you. [She wants to ask him if he sent those two warriors to protect her family, but she's too distracted by how inane those last two sentences were. What was she thinking? There is no way to get through this conversation with dignity, is there?]

[ A small jest, trying to ease her nerves. Ultimately, he rather supposes it will fail. ]
You and she, you have spoken?

Yes, sire.
[Is that how you address the Elvenking? It's how you address the Master.]

... I do not bite unless expressively provoked.

[She is not going to call him Thranduil.]
