Why must this bloodshed occur?

by Domnin

As the elf reaches the bar, Baresh asks, "What'll it be, Domnin?"

Domnin responds, "Something hard Baresh."

As Baresh pours the drink, Domnin slams his fist down upon the bar.

"Damnit all Baresh, when will they ever learn?!" He indicates the group of warriors. "So few understand..." He shakes his head. "Why can we think with our minds instead of our steel for once?" "Their little 'adventure' into S'lai territory causes Sorrow and crew to invade the Crossing. Albeit the invasions are small, they are still dangerous and totally uncalled for. If they would just try to use diplomacy..." He sighs.

"Don't get me wrong, I cannot stand Sorrow, and the fact that he is with Sidhlot gives me personal vendettas." The Mountian elf stares off into the distance coldly. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a sum of coins. "Are these why people do such stupid things? They can get these anywhere!"

He stands to leave. "Baresh, please try and convince your patrons that we should try alternative methods. I will be afar until the 2nd of January, however, I fear that this will still be continuing until then."

He goes out towards the door, yet before he reaches it, one of the warriors calls out to him to come over for a drink for the few Elpazi mages he slew. Domnin shakes his head in disgust and heads out the door.
