[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2935060, member: 35788"] Rhaka smiles and replies, [COLOR=Olive]"Which is one reason that I think the people around here need help. I've found in nature that animals can be very observant, but they need to have a level of trust established before they are willing to talk. One does not feed the beaver by going up and pounding on his damn. One feeds the beaver by spending time around him, learning his territory, respecting his boarders, and allowing him to become accustommed to one's presence within his territory. Once the beaver has accepted you, how freely they mingle!"[/COLOR] She sighs, thinking of the wild. [COLOR=Olive]"I would assume it is the case with all animals - even humans. If we wish these people to trust us and tell us if there is a history behind the hedge mage and this Shadow, we must give them reason to trust us. Unless you have a large sum of money, I believe helping them and feeding them to be the quickest way to develop trust."[/COLOR] [COLOR=Olive]"Unfortunately, no. I have a quest to perform for her and return tommorrow. I cannot speak with her again until tomorrow anyway, but if there is more we'd like to ask her, I can make a list and have it ready for tommorrow."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
