Draiss nodded, and clapped the elder minotaur on the shoulder. "You are only too old if you let them think so. Beat a few of those youngsters up side the head, and they will take your seriously. The attempts to supplant you might get annoying, but hey, it will keep you on your hooves."<br/><br/>The shoulder clap also channeled low level healing spell, which would give the elder minotaur a reg 1 for a couple days, to make sure he stayed alive. He bowed to the male, before slipping out, and heading toward the hobgoblins, sending a review of the exchange to Ama, as he headed out at a leisurely pace, in no hurry. Once she caught up, he added his thoughts. "The minotaurs are the most likely to get my support if only for being firmly aware of their status as 'interlopers' and wanting to be left alone. That they have a dearth of males due to getting pushed out of their homeland, most of them dying to give the females and children a chance to make a run for it, has no bearing at all."
