Making An Ally

Having Clark explain the exact situation that had led to over thirty prisoners being taken and also being found unconscious right after being imprisoned put the matriarch on edge. She had never had something like that happen, and now a stranger had arrived telling her that he had more details. 

"I see that you understand that I am not lying now?" Clark knew that he was now considered extremely suspicious. The entire chamber had gone silent. Every elder just glaring at him while trying to discern what he was going on about. 

"Then I can finally explain why I came here to someone who will listen to me." Clark sighed out loud and gave a casual glance toward the captain that had brought him in. It was a little odd seeing him prepare to attack if need be, but that was just the situation they were both put in right now.
