"I do, and I also know it is not enough for an outsider such as yourself to understand our ways."

Adameldis looked out of the window for a second.

"We outlive you by hundreds of years, if not longer. It is perhaps why we appear so cold and hostile to the likes of you. To us you are but fleeting things. What a mere man can achieve in his lifetime is nothing compared to what an elf can do."

Bringing his rant neatly to the point:

"You think you can understand the political machinations and nuances of Cloudrest because you have stayed with us for a mere week? No. No! The city of Cloudrest once was but a fort, the Aerie." Adameldis got up from his seat and wandered to a stained glass window letting in morning light. His back turned to her.

"For thousands of years the Welkynars have guarded this region. The Canonreeves, why. They are quite a recent invention by comparison. A regrettably necessary addition of bureaucracy from the days of the dominion." He smiled to himself.

"I'll let you decide which one I meant there."

"Still. While some Canonreeves cling to their title, others see it, correctly, as a duty like life itself is an exercise and a duty that needs to be fulfilled."
