"I wanted to know who you are as a person. I've met The'kal and Elune, they're great people and a joy to be around. I wanted to know more about you, and you're someone I would be willing to spend more time with." He frowned and shook his head. "She gave them free will. What they chose to do with that will is on them. I understand your reasoning but the world, no world, is black and white as you see it. We live in a world where communication is severely limited. The first time I met a Troll outside the Undercity, shortly after being raised I realized they weren't bad people. I changed because I had an opportunity to meet a Troll face to face. Imagine what our world would be like, how much more tolerant we'd be of each other, if we could understand each other better. Common thought among most of the people here is that all Orcs are blood thirsty monsters who only live to rape and pillage. Yet if we were to visit the Crossroads or Razor Hill what would we find? Just Orcs living their lives peacefully and going through their day. How many humans do you think will ever meet an Orc outside of combat? The world needs to be better connected, ideas need to be exchanged easier. In fact, I bet there's a Orc out there now who feels the exact same way I do about the Alliance." He frowned and shook his head. "Ras is one of my best friends. I don't know what his beef with you is specifically, but I know he'd talk some sense into this man and save that child. Or would you rather let that child die than talk to Ras and possibly save it? You've trusted my judgement so far, haven't you? Trust me on Ras. That's an easy question with a painful answer. I'd ask her to leave. I tolerate a lot from Britomart, the point where I'd rather... there's days where I wish I had found someone else to love. But I wouldn't allow her personal vendetta to corrupt children."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
