“Shh… don’t look.” We both averted our eyes from the front door of the tavern. You didn’t even have to look; you could smell them coming in: trolls.
I peeked over my shoulder just to get a glance at the towering figures that scoped out the patrons as they walked in. A full head shorter than them was a smaller troll, female, searching the room. I turned fully towards the front caught in the glow of this beautiful creature accompanied by her larger brethren. Back and forth, she looked then settled on me. I was caught in her glance. She smiled. I smiled.
