If the situation had been reversed, they would have exploited our weakness, running us down one by one, and killing us all in a very ruthless manner, with the possible exception of Astrid; they would have toyed with her awhile, before allowing her to die a slow and agonizing death. Our show of strength is the only reason we are alive to talk about this right now. So don't feel bad about it. It's not that they are all madmen, it's their culture; they revere strength, they revile weakness, and they revel in debauchery. They see non-Shimadow as mere beasts, and would think no more of butchering one of us than we would of butchering a sheep. As for the coal and guano, we both agree with Oorvid. Let's gather it all and return home."</blockquote>
