Matilda wipes the tears from her eye and says, "Oh thank you for your kind word. I am just a silly gnome - misguided and foolish. And you are a great and noble elf - benevolent and wise. May your road be easy, m'lady."

She courtseys delicately and makes her way back to her perch on the cart.
Matilda is a young gnome. She has curly blond hair, blue eyes, and is almost always smiling. She is quite intelligent, but is prone to occasional sillyness.
