[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 73: Icthya Captured!

[Nic Hughes]

Aalmon rubs his chin for a while thoughfully then turns to the Yelmalian 
officer and speaks in his slightly over-formal New Pelorian "We were 
correct to surmise that the she-elf is from the lands of Fronela and is 
far from home. She was intending to travel to the North of here and was 
advised by some humans to travel with the Heortlings, perhaps for 
protection from bandits. I do not believe she knows anything of the 
conflict here and if she knows a little she cares less.

I can ask her further questions if you like, I can manage her language 
well enough - it is her meaning which is hard to understand for her mind 
does not work like ours."

He turns back to Icthya "This is not our war and neither of us has taken 
sides in it. The only war of concern to me is the kingdom of that name 
that threatens my homeland and yours. I am here as an envoy of my 
people, what status do you wish to claim?"

OOC : Nice to be back.
