The two kings started taking about the recent addition to the ship's cabin walls as they went about cleaning their catch so that the man responsible for preparing food of those on the ship could toss the on the small grill he had to work with at a pace that could keep up with those that kept snatching the freshly grilled fish.
"Are you planning on just leaving them as wall decor until your son is free to have a good chat with them?"
"No, I was going to ask them a few questions once we are done helping this fine gentleman with the task of grilling up all of these fish."
"Is it true that most of them were elves?"
"Surprisingly enough, that is true. Only one of them was human."
"Then would you perhaps allow this old man to give you a small lesson on the art of interrogating elves?"
"I am far older than you, you know. However, I am sure that you are far more familiar with the workings of an elven mind than I, even if I have a few hundred years of experience on you."
