Telwyn glances at Elotai when he hears the shaman's words. These tribesmen were a touchy lot, very different from the ones back home. Best to keep silent for now--he didn't want to be overheard, but there's no telling what suspicions their "hosts" would have if Telwyn and Elotai started speaking in Elvish. But it looked like, for now anyway, the two of them were stuck with each other.

It was strange to feel kinship to this elf. Stranger still to feel so alien. Growing up in a human village, Telwyn had always wondered about his father's people. And even though the taunts from the other children about his ears had eventually turned into respect and friendship as they grew up, inside Telwyn never really felt like he belonged with the people of Armis. Somehow he had always expected that meeting an elf would bring a feeling of rightness. But meeting Elotai simply reminded him of just how different he was. Suddenly, Telwyn wonders whether coming on this expedition was such a great idea.

But, of course, all of this is neither here nor there. First they need to get away from here alive. Telwyn keeps his tongue and continues following the group back to the camp.
