The grey haired human brushes off Caytis's and Marcus's efforts to lead him outside and places a hand on Nai's shoulder.
An air of confused panic trembles in his voice.
What? Run? My people just finished unloading all the supplies I'm bringing in from Sasserine. Without that cargo, the common folk of Cauldron will suffer. Despite what Garthun said, the food shortage in Cauldron is very real. I will not abandon my cargo. Besides, surely the guards and walls around this place can keep out a few overgrown bugs. This is the safest place in the whole jungle.
Barkeep Orin grabs a large truncheon from behind the bar.
Now now, no need to be scaring folks missy. Lets all stay calm.
Orin reassures the human.
Your goods are perfectly safe Maavu. My boys will take care of any threats that might come out of the bush. And like you said, my ancestors built these walls with their blood and tears. They've kept this house safe for generations. I'm not about to abandon it because some wildling girl gets spooked by a cricket. I suggest you all stay inside...I'll go see to the boys
Orin walks past Svexyn and out of the common room into the night. Some of the merchants do as Orin instructs and retreat to their rooms. Adofo, the caravan master continues to drink with his small complement of caravan guards, completely unphased by Nai's warnings. Maavu looks around confused and unsure what to do. He looks at Nai, then at Marcus, Caytis, and Wilbur imploringly.
