Ronan smirked. “I can be polite,” he replied. They walked closer to the cottages. Ronan his his saber as Hailee had suggested and was about to take a step forward to knock on the door when it swung open. A little old woman stood on the threshold. She looked human; her gray hair tied in a loose bun at the nape of her neck. Her eyes and mouth stretched into a smile, emphasizing her laugh lines. “Oh hello. It’s been so long since another human has been here, let alone two,” she said kindly. A man walked up beside her and Ronan suddenly realized this was the old couple who had lived in their cottage.
