The emissaries humbly apologize to the towns' respective leaders for being too direct, but nevertheless ask if why they elect to decline, and if there is anything Alinor could do for them to make them join without conflict, like eliminating troublesome bandits, supply them with a certain resource, pay them tribute etc. (Same thing I told Billy, diplomacy only goes so far. And small nations are naturally hesitant to become vassals, they prefer to stay independent.)

The town's leader waves off their apology, saying it isn't necessary. They reply, saying that if Alinor wishes they could become allies.
