When she had invited everyone to bathe Sondanwe was quite dismayed that kitty didn't know she should give the elves their own tub and had even crawled in with them.  A strange behavior. It seemed she thought the most commonality they shared was their gender.<br/>The elf took another sip of the delicious wine and sighed. The cat had shared her best wine. Sondanwe was being too hard on her. Whatever minor mistake must be forgiven.<br/><br/>She was about to compliment the cat on her wine choice when Alisandra suddenly spoke common and was seemingly shocked by Sondanwe's question. She didn't understand how ridding the area of orcs and hobgoblins would help? Sondanwe wriggled her nose slightly in disbelief but other than that tried to hide her shock.<br/>When the elf mentioned the slavers Sondanwe pounced on the subject to salvage the conversation.<br/><br/>"<strong>Yes, if we could gain the advantage, an attack on the slavers would help many people.</strong>" she responded in common. Sondanwe moved her fingers and tipped her wrist casting the same spell. A purple orb of light appeared over the bath. "<strong>Did you have a goal-</strong>" Sondanwe failed to finish her sentence. The cat had interrupted her, perhaps the feline could sense the tension in the conversation. Sondanwe was pleased to hear how politely the cat had spoken.<br/>"<strong>So, Kitty, your advice is that we stay neutral in this war? What of the slavers? Could we not convince the orcs to join our cause? I lack faith in the goblins but if we helped the orcs gain power perhaps they would help?</strong>"<br/><br/>Sondanwe transformed the purple orb to turquoise and spoke to Alisandra in elvish once again.
