"Mmm...yes, other races have much less respect for children than we do." The chieftain mused, looking at Savyna, then leaned back, sighing as she spoke. "But no. I refuse to do so, as will any in the village. If you wish, we'll raise the child, even. But you don't have to deal with any displeasure that might bring on our village. We have,<em>had</em>an understanding with Shindra. We were left to our own devices, and children were raised, regardless of parentage. Not that it matters with our race. If this is...unacceptable, then we can help you in the direction of your city. But I won't risk my clan for your...preference."
