Friends or Foes?

Ahem... Why have you attacked us? Our death would likely lead to war between the Empire and Howlem. And it's not hard to guess who would win it!
...
So these aborigines are not Pridens? Hmm... Take no offence, but washed and trimmed, they would look just like you!
Alright, I have no reasons to mistrust you. I don't think you would have killed your kinsman to save a tailless outlander. I swear the Empire has nothing to do with that. Actually, we would like to conclude an alliance with you!
Oh! I saw it for myself: the savages - tya-ah, as you call them - took orders from an elf! A real elf with wings and an arrogant face!
The League must have found out that we were going to offer you an alliance, and decided to strike! You should go to their Embassy, now!
Damn it, it hurts...

This is... unbelievable! We are... humiliated! Devastated! Who will pay for this?!
