His opportunity to enter comes quickly as a few patrons leave. Slipping into a corner by the door he watches as Vance seems to be rearranging the long common room. Tables have been pushed aside and a single chair sits in the middle of the room the Trelorian scout sitting slummped in it unconsious. After the furniture is arranged Vance then begins to arrange the people, he sends the barkeep and the barmaid (Frella) out the back and puts Onesimus and Marko on either side of the elf as if they were guards and he tells Kase to watch the door. From his little corner Trinham sees Lora and Claude seated at a round table off to the side. Brend stands near the table arms folded as always. Moggins followed Trinham in but after a few rubs on the man's leg notices he's not going to get his ears scratched and so heads towards the others. "Now tel'wizen shall we begin?" he asks. Brend steps forward taking a pitcher off the table and stands near the elf. He lays a hand on the scouts shoulder and whispers a quiet prayer. A divine glow surrounds the man's hand and then disappears. Waiting a few seconds Brend then takes the contents of the pitcher and dumps them over the head of the elf. Sputtering to consiousness Trinham gets a good look at the captive. Slender and short he would pass for a man in the Peshlands if not for the large pointed ears and almond slanted eyes. The shirt and breeches he was put into must belong to Kase or maybe Vance himself they were baggy on the slender frame of the elf. Water dripped from his honey colored hair cropped short in a military style so as not to get in the eyes or give the enemy anything to grab. Water from his face and clothes made a puddle on the floor and the scout shook his head sending drops elsewhere. Trying to move, his hands stayed in his lap tied as they were to his feet, making there no way for him to stand. {{"Edanea! Nadorhuanrim!"}} he says spitting. Brend's backhand is quick and quite forceful across the elf's face. Blood flys to the floor as the elf's lip is split open.  "No 'wizen that is not the way." Vance says stepping between the elf and human. He goes to the same table taking a towel from it and then tries to pat the cut on the elves lip. Trying to move his head away the elf finally relents. Vance giving one of his winning grins finishes clotting the blood flow and then toss the towel on the table next to the empty pitcher. "Fill that," he says to Brend, and the priest walks over behind a narrow counter dipping the pitcher in a water barrel. Bring it back to the table and sitting it down before cross his arms once more. Nodding at his teacher and friend Vance turns back to the elf. "Do you understand the trade tongue?" he asks, then switches to Elven. {{"Lle anta quen Tel'Nandirly?"}} {{"Auta miqula orqu!"}}the elf shouts back. Trinham notices the new man Marko twitch at what the elf said. And so did Vance for he stands and looking the man in the eye says, "There will be no more abuse of the prisoner, understand?"  "Yes sir!" Onesimus says saluting fist to chest. Marko is a little slower in responding but he does the same reply "Yes sir." "Good," Vance says turning away from the two guards and walking over to the table. "Suggestions?" he asks loudly enough to be heard throughout the room. "I don't think he knows our languages and I surely do not know what he is saying."  "My Lord," Brend says quickly. "The elf is lying. There is no way their force came all this way and none of them knew the trade tongue. They would want to interrogate their own prisoners and maybe spy unseen. Let me..." he stops at Vance's raised hand. "I would agree, but how about an ideal other than torture for now." he says again speaking rather loudly. Not loud enough to be shouting just enough to make sure everyone in the room hears him. "Lord Grignard? Miss Lora? What do you think?" [sblock=OOC] Even though you were not address or need to stay hidden a post on your feeling of the situation or something else.
