[QUOTE="Velenne, post: 1039019, member: 1856"] Travellios raises a brow and smirks at the thin blade. [i]Such a fragile ego that even a mispercieved slight should lead to bloodshed. Quite the bark this little dog has. But only a warrior...[/i] "My point is now proven to an intellectual's satisfaction, I believe," he says in calm, lecturing tone, "The druids are fond of likening us- Elves that is- to creatures in nature. As it pertains to a single family, they seem to prefer the metaphor of a tree. Thus the term 'family tree' originated with elven druids. The phrase is meant to teach that a family should not squabble amongst itself. Insofar as the group of us are joined together by fate, the lesson could apply in this circumstance correspondingly. "My first statement was intended satisfy the amends you so earnestly seek to your precious family honor. Incidently, it was not besmirched by anyone, but rather the observation was made in a rather undiplomatic way that there are others in this group who would serve as better scouts than you. The same could be said of myself or Boromir but no one else is brandishing weapons over it. "Now might I suggest you heed the good troubadour's advice and turn your blade and your thoughts toward our orcish enemies instead of those who travel beside you?" He finishes with a slight grin and raises a hand toward the exit. [/QUOTE]
