[QUOTE="Deepwinter 7, post: 703096, member: 9731"] Deepwinter 7 turns around quickly and squirts his eyes to look at Ilan [COLOR=silver]"Your tongue has been used a little too much lately, and as such you have already told way too much, my dear Elf... You speak of trust and heritage of titles and honour but alas, there is no alignment between the words in your mind and the actions of your body. To most of our hosts you are but a bitter taste in the mouth that one wants to get rid of. YES you are an Elf and YES you don't want to be here with two lawfull knights."[/COLOR] And in a lower, quiet voice: [COLOR=silver] And YES you are noble, but we all know how you got the titles from the Elves and Men"[/COLOR] Deepwinter 7 stops a while and moves closer to both Ilan and Roland [COLOR=silver]"I also have no great affection to the laws of Amstrad, but in being here we are bound to them in numerous ways.
