"No indeed. The hardship of my people has forced us to be more accomodating to the few of us that our left...survival has a way of putting petty racial differences into perspective.
Take me for example-a product of a loving union between a male Human and a female Elf. Not even 100 years ago, I would of likely of been put to death in some more extreme Elven cities. These days, I am accepted out of need, for there are too few of us to do otherwise."
Disead seems momentarily thoughtful
"But to business...it's clear we have the same goals and needs in mind. I would like to make official both a charter of peace between us, and a pact of trade.
Our peace is for now, merely ensuring good conduct between us. No one of either tribe should harm another, nor should we leave one another to a dangerous situation without aid-such as my actions to your friends in the quicksand pit. Joint military defensive action is something I leave for future talks.
The pact of trade stipulates that all our members, and both our peoples may freely conduct commerce amongst ourselves without tariff or oversight by the ruling body. Let the traders do business, and we are both enriched, yes? If you agree, we should establish a mutual trading area where we all can meet.
Of course, I am also willing to sweeten the pot, by way of tribute, from our people to yours. If you feel the need to ask from us, we are prepared to do what we can to accomdate you-as a sign of respect to your superior strength.
Do we have a deal, or is further discussion needed?"
