Daliah spoke "But Papa! We have other means of survival before we go kill these creatures. Look, we have a fleece coat from our sheep, warm furs from the bison!" she said. Ayl piped up "She's right, theres no need to kill those of greater intelligence, there are plenty of dumb creatures in this world, I know, because I can't speak to them all, only these creatures". The people spoke among themselves, then another young human pup, a boy, piped up "I agree!" he nodded at the girl. Then another human girl "Me too!". Slowly each human agreed to the bewilderment of the older people, who eventually all agreed with the strange fox. The stubborn man cleared his throat, "Very well then" He walked over to the animals, kneeling in front of them, "You have my word" he relented, his eyes softened as he relented to the will of the creatures "Very well indeed. You all are much more intelligent and diplomatic than I give you credit for." He took a wooden rod and touched them on the shoulder, "From now on you and all species like you are granted safety." He got up and all the people clapped. "We can't do nothing with the pelts of your...er...family, except burn or bury them, as is our tradition to respect the dead" he bowed his head to the cat "I'm sorry for your loss, it won't happen again".<br/><br/>Ayl wagged her tail happy and translated to the group "We did it!" he magenta eyes gleamed.
