Eldavyan nods when presented with the two different opinions. "Very well, we shall put the decision to a vote. Zyrial wishes to foot this mission without the aide of the felin. Zykovian wishes to enlist a few felin to escort us to their boundaries. While I understand Zyrial's desire to complete this mission on our own, I also understand that the felin, as a native of this world, could provide us useful information about their world through idle talk and by examples. I vote that we ask the felin to aide us. One against and two for the felin's aide. What do the rest of you think?"
Eldavyan speaks with fervor and voices his opinions without malice or condescending. Standing next to Shyl, having dismounted out of respect when he approached the group, caresses her muzzle as her head hangs over his shoulder.
"Also," says Eldavyan, "Ulysses mentioned something about acquiring horses for the entire party. I have no problems with asking the queen for the steeds, but I question their necessity when I picture battles unfolding in the future. Shyl is trained to handle the chaos of battle and even aide me by attacking. While I am certain that the queen is generous, I am not certain that she will provide horses of war for the entire party. Scout horses, while swift, are not exactly hardy when it comes to battle and I am afraid they will spook and flee the scene or be killed, leaving us in a predicament where once horse must carry two elves at all times. Perhaps once we get a stronghold in place, the horses can be put to better use. One vote against bringing horses."
Eldavyan smiles his enchantingly bland smile, eagerly waiting the responses from his companions.
Edit: Changed Ulysses to be the elf who suggested horses. My bad!
