Conflict (2)

Putting the demands aside, Billy was more worried about the name of that Captain. Pierre… that was definitely a french name. Until now, he only found English-like names. So, that made him frown.

"Very well, we will explain the situation to our leader," Drew said. "It will take a few days, though."

While the leaders of the tribes understood those demands, the other members frowned. It looked like they were being looked down… a mere captain demanding the presence of Edward. Still, they only thought that because they had only experimented with diplomacy a few times. Besides, they were on the weak end of that negotiation. Since they didn't try to cross the river, the people on the other side didn't need to negotiate with a small town such as the hammersmiths. In fact, they probably knew about their existence and decided to ignore it completely.
