It would have looked as though Hyarmenion had enjoyed the petting as much as Kumi would have. Obviously he did have a great love for animals, and that too would have gone far beyond the simple boundaries of being an elf.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, he was obviously very concerned about Rubii. He didn't say anything about this, but the concern was rather obvious and it would have gone without saying anyway.<br/><br/>Nodding to Sorin, he finally softened his appearance. It seemed that he was glad that she had taken such an enlightened approach to nature, once more for relatively obvious reasons. Something inside him didn't care much for the whole idea of dead Imperial soldiers, but war had to have some cost and he could have only hoped that this entire conflict was soon coming to an end.<br/><br/>Sighing a bit, he turned upwards and focused. "I can think of a couple of things that we could do if you had wanted to run a terror campaign against them. Do you think that might have been for the best?" Once more he didn't particularly like what he was suggesting personally, but that didn't mean that it wasn't a legitimate tactic in a war, especially one with as high a cost as this one had thus far.
