"Amazing. How we got here." Ern shook his head as he took a sip of tea.
They were seated in the house around a large round table. Alas' arguments were convincing enough to get them from battle to conversation.
"You saved these people from the monsters, that's for sure, the town was only partially damaged, but why tie them up? What was the point of that? Now you look like invaders, not saviors." Wain asked.
"Well... It was a revelation to me that these people had never seen Elves before. They were as afraid of us as they were of monsters, it's hard to have any conversation in that environment, so I decided to tie them up. They won't be able to escape, which means the interrogation will go a lot faster."
"Okay, that actually makes sense, but what were you going to do next?"
"I haven't decided yet, but the main option was to fortify this town and make these people our allies." Alas said calmly.
"You are unusual Elves, are you not?" Ern asked.
