"If they drow dared to strike that close to the goblin territories, they had to have a good reason. The patrol must have come across something they had to hide. Doing so with that small numbers, the odds against them, means they must have been in a real hurry. Did you see evidence of anything in particular being taken from the dead goblins? Or any of them carrying something unusual, or alternatively looking like they had been- no, that's stupid, I don't know how you would be able to tell someone<em>had</em>something earlier like that." Jack muttered, seeming to think it over. Setting down a bowl of fish-soup before her, he ate while thinking a moment, seeming to try and think it through, not gazing at her too much when he did so, though her first appearance had lead the goblin man to look like he quite appreciated just how short those towels had been.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, he cleared his throat somewhat soon after. "An hour ago. It would take a while to put a group together and go after them. Its likely they got away with it, but still, they did have concerns obviously which makes me think that the place deserves a thorough search and looking around at later. Yes, its worth at least the map, I'll admit that." He looked up at her and smiled. "If the drow show a weakness it might mean a lot of opportunities for both goblins and orcs here. Though honestly, I'd pay a lot to see someone kill the current squig they have leading them, that bastard orc-boss is a slaver and a perverted bastard who would raid anyone in hopes of more slaves and wealth. Heck, I'd pay even more for someone poisoning their wells so that the orcs would lose their territory and goblins could once again claim more of the caverns. Frankly, we have<em>less interest</em>on the outside than the orcs, we protect our territory, which we see these mines as nowadayas after all the work we've put in them, where as the orcs think them mostly convienient barracks after the old war." He let out a heavy sigh, shrugging.<br/><br/>"But on another note, I'd like to ask what you do in the caverns to begin with? I just think it would help understand the reason why so many have come down here lately. And my loyalty doesn't extend to drow, the offer of peace for now does, but there's a difference between 'peace' and 'allies'." He looked at her, a bit inquisitive, but yet distracted by occasional views of her bosom's start.
