I see. And I understand."He stayed silent for a moment afterwards, letting the statement hang in the air between the two leaders. With struggle, Taraneos drew in a deep breath, coughing on the pine-scented air but continuing on once the fit had subsided." You have been good to the Avernix. I am pleased to hear that we have not lost your friendship. We of The Oak understand that even the mighty wolf must feed where the deer are plentiful, and that our hunting grounds are scarce as of late."The Dwarf gripped his staff tightly, leaning forward to place a hand wrinkled and spotted with age on Theoparlis's shoulder. He smiled warmly, in camaraderie." I know you will do what is best for you, and we will do what is best for our people. Go with the blessings of the Great Oak, and know that there is no bad blood between us, come what may."Leaning back again, Taraneos made to stand, his walking stick becoming his support to do so. " You were very honorable to bring this news to us directly. I shall remember this when I bring the word to the Council. But a word of warning, my friend."He looked up, making sure to catch Theo's eyes with his own. He held them tight, as if some weave of magic bound them together and forced their gaze to remain rigid." Queen Pantea has approached us before for our lands. I am sure she will do so again once the Wolves have driven away her great enemy from the West. The Avernix will not accept this foreign master, no matter what she may have up her sleeve. Our lands are ours, and I will not let my people become entangled in this web of lies, fire, and war that the human kingdoms have resolved themselves to. The Oak is Mother to us, not these Haere."Taraneos looks down and the moment passes. The air itself seems to relax in the room, and the kindly Dwarf motions for the door." But I am sure the right decisions will be made by all," he stated quite cheerfully, hobbling his way outside and bidding Theo a safe journey. He does add, however, that the soldier and his companions are, of course, more than welcome in Halveroth should any need arise. ~</blockquote>
