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.<br>
<br>
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."<br>
<br>
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?"<br>

retreat but the general needs to be told what you are doing so far from home
in such rough company and I doubt it will go well for you if he does not get
an answer. What story should I tell him?"

"I have no story to tell them," Icthya says, her caution obvious in
the lack of a greeting. "I was shooting arrows at their troops because
I wished to see how the barbarians' spirits would respond to the
blood. I have no interest in this little war, and I do not care much
who wins it. I have travelled with a man from one side of the argument
and a woman from the other. You are just different people.
"I suggested to the others that we travel through your Empire in
peace, seeking help where we could. But they chose to ally themselves
to the other side, for some reason. It will be difficult, now, to
reach the far north.
"So, Aalmon, can we concoct a useful story from all that? I don't
know. If you freed my bonds, I could most likely get away. But for
now, if we have a little time, I am curious as to how you ended up
here?"
OOC: Heya Nic! Nice surprise :)
