Most of the Vehicle's passengers seemed to regard Zalvryn with the respect he felt he deserved, safe fom the calling himself Pieras Maledicte. His tone had not been respectful, but rather mocking. It was quite clear his manner of introduction was a Jab at Zalvryn, who was quite taken aback by this calleousness. Still, he stayed his anger, he was going to have to coöperate with everyone despite any personal feelings.<br/><br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: white;background:white;"/></div><br/><br/>The silent moments after the round of introductions was a time of intrspection for Zalvryn. How was he going to coöperate with someone that didn't even follow proper protocol in dealing with someone of his rank. Zalvryn resolved to talk about this matter with Pieras at a later date, but right now, it seemed he was going to welcome a new companion. He barely noticed the petite humanoid emerging from the rather perturbed druids. She seemed rather small, almost a child even, but as she drew closer, the actual reason for this abberation became clear. It appeared through some twist of incompetence from the ivory tower clerks, they would have to tolerate some sort of elven kin in their midst.<br/><br/>Zalvryn's family had always somewhat looked down on elves. They were considered intruders to the land of Teuveran that were to be expelled should they become a threat, just like any of the other humanoid races. Neither Zalvryn or anyone else in his family had ever bothered to study the culture or history of the elven race, after all, wouldn't that imply sympathy with a potential enemy to the state? After all this internal monologue, Zalvryn found himself staring at the new guest somewhat more aggresively than he had intended. He averted his gaze. He wouldn't waste a single word on the elven druid, she was below even his disdain.
