A human girl. And so young. Tauriel is aware that the Rohirrim have shield maidens, but she has yet to see a human female with a bow, much less in such clothes as Allison is wearing.

Granted, she's met very few humans, but still. She finds herself filled with sympathy when she senses the girl's uncertainty.

Her steps are silent and place her perhaps unexpectedly at Allison's shoulder.

"I can only imagine that this must be strange for you." comments Tauriel quietly, so as not to startle the young woman.
