What the hell? Jon thought as she stared at him. Is this guy a retard?
"I'm right, aren't I?" he said with a cocky grin, misinterpreting the look on Jon's face.

"I knew it. My grandfather always told me about the elves, but I never believed him until now," he sighed. "I wish he was here to see what I caught."
