[QUOTE="Dragonwriter, post: 5622766, member: 54988"] Jareth's eyes go from neutral-but-cautious to hard and cold before the ambassador finishes his first sentence. Looking first to the Elder, Jareth says [color=crimson]"My sister guided us through the Ways, but she did not tell us their history. That came from another, one who knows the truth of them better than any elf alive, I'd wager."[/color] Then Jareth turns his icy gaze to the ambassador. [color=crimson]"I had wished we could discuss this civilly, Ambassador, rather than hurl insults and threats at one another. My hope in coming here was to save my friend and teacher, and perhaps show the elven people they need not hoard knowledge like a miser with his gold. This absurd posturing over a perceived insult, one caused by the emotions and actions of different people than the ones you seek to wipe out, is precisely that - absurd. I believe there is a far deeper root than what you have presented. "I already said we went through the Ways of the Dead. Would it surprise you to know Vester's Reavers had returned to the green dragon's lair? They had something with them, something of Elven origin. Something, we were told, precisely of Treylor origin. Something for which you were willing to start a war. And it is also something we retrieved from them and would happily return to its rightful owners if such a thing were to avert a war. "Of course, if our information is wrong, then there would be no need to return this item, as it would not avert war. And if the invasion cannot be stopped because people give in to their impulses and emotions, nor accept that others give in to theirs, then there is no need for Tharivol or Tira to be executed to avert said invasion. "And Ambassador, I believe it should be obvious that any campaign against the Nandirly will go through human lands. Even now, the Five Kingdoms assemble their armies to meet you in battle, should it come to that. An expedition force was routed not two weeks ago at Harkon Manor by an assemblage of peasants in a field. Your invasion will be met with far more force than the simple conscripts and volunteers could manage and the losses for your people will be far more costly."[/color] [/QUOTE]
