Ashe was silent as he fumed and made it very clear what he thought of her, and all other humans. She didn't know the things he did, and as a result all she found she could say was, "If that's true, then I am very, very sorry." she said unable to hide the fear that laced her voice. When he snorted she stiffened not sure what he was doing, and shrunk back instinctively when he approached. When he touched her she stood stock still, like a deer in the headlights, and her breaths became shallow as though any deeper breaths would somehow anger him.<br/><br/>The scar on his back looked severe, but due to her lack of knowledge, she could think of nothing that could have caused it. As he walked back to his throne she started trying to persuade him not to kill her. "Please. I honestly didn't know that the forest was owned. If I had I would have stayed very, very far away. I know that ignorance makes for a poor excuse, but it's the only one I have..." Falling silent, she did the only other thing she could think and got on her knees before him. It was easy to see he looked down on humans and perhaps if she showed she accepted the fact she was beneath him, he could forgive her transgression. Bowing her head she said, "Please forgive me..." And then fell silent.<br/><br/>As she knelt there, she kept her eyes fixed on the ground. If she was right, then she might be spared. But if she'd made a mistake, the last thing she'd see before that hammer came crashing down on her frail human skull would be the floor of that room.
