All affinities

The fairies looked at each other, as if they were stuck in a great quandary. They had not seen the ferocity of the hunters which drove their ancestors into hiding, but they had seen what Lex was capable of doing with their own eyes.

They didn't want to burden him, yet at the same time he was right in stating that they did not plan on staying in the sealed domain, but had nowhere to go.

Lex, who had some experience with fairies now, got the feeling that this was going to drag on so he decided to persuade them a little more.

"Look, I am the one who gave you freedom. That makes me responsible for you. I can't, in good conscience, just leave you here to suffer. At the same time, I have a lot of work I need to do. So I would feel a lot better if you came with me to the Inn. That way you'd be safe as well, at least until you recover enough to venture out on your own if you so wish."
