As we were heading to the tree house that we would be staying in tonight, there were many elves that were still staring at us as we walked by.
It seemed that we were still considered a rare oddity in this village, but at the very least, the way that they stared at us wasn't as hostile as before.
Instead, these were gazes that were filled with curiosity and interest.
This meant that we had at least made a good impression and it would be easier to negotiate going forward.
This was also the reason why the elders had wanted our group to go to the feast.
Even if the elders did have sway in the village and seemed like they were in charge, it wasn't as if their position was rock solid. If the majority of the villagers disagreed with the policy that they wanted to put in place, it wasn't as if they could force it.
So unless we could ease the tension between humans and elves, it would be hard for us to convince them of anything.
