"Yes, it would. Other planets, while they usually have resources, don't have people that can be communicated with. This one, in spite of its problems, has a fair amount to recommend it, and I expect that people would be people, and trade would commence. Which, given modern technology...would likely change things on their head, where your current society is concerned. They won't tolerate people enslaving the elves, for instance." Ivy acknowledged. "It happens, but not on the kind of level I've seen here. I, personally, was<em>manufactured</em>as a toy for some rich person or another. I got away, though. Unfortunately, Xullfryn's semen seems to drug my mind for some reason...but I'm slowly learning to deal with that, at least. But I thought you, at least, deserved an opportunity to go. And since reading<em>is</em>necessary, and I pretended to be unable to read...Xullfryn was hoping I could convince you. And I'd be more than happy to try...<em>convincing</em>you in a more physical manner."
