Zephyr titled his head, having a feeling that she had been thrown off a little by his second question, even as she continued on to answer his first in a little more detail. He couldn't help but feel she didn't want to give something away, and had to wonder if pressing a little might work best.<strong>"I try to be well informed, but that knowledge comes from having lived on the frontier when, before, and after the goblins broke the dwarven defenses."</strong>He said to her, knowing that it was only because of her families mercantile that he and the others had anything to start with once they escaped.<br/><br/>He sighed, and shook his head.<strong>"Corrupted...."</strong>He let the word trail off, the way she had said it so vaguely left a bad taste in his mouth.<strong>"Corrupted by what? What has this village in such a sad state?!"</strong>He asked directly, already having not liked her answer to the question, and now getting a little riled up about it. It was like she didn't want to answer it, and he couldn't stand for that. Zephyr knew he might be able to do something about it, just as his brother had done when they escaped the Hobgoblin camp, and just like his father had when Abalon had wared with the elves those years back. He came from a family of people that had a habit of getting things done if they put their mind to it, and he wasn't about to break that habit.<br/><br/>Intimidate Check (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2973472/)
