What sort of flowers would you bring to a person to indicate gratitude? Assuming you do not know this person well, but have learned she has an interest in flowers, is there any particular species that lends itself well to this sort of thing?

Sisters. I think we ought to speak to one another without this place being a catalyst for it.

And while we're on the point, I have been considering relocating somewhere briefly. This place controls us far more than I'd like. Surely you two feel the same.

Born ghosts? Light ... how horrible.

On Azeroth, it is not uncommon for the younger races to go their entire lives not knowing anything but conflict. I have known years without war, but conflict between my people and the neighboring trolls is ever present. [Not to mention all the wars that happened after her time, but ... she hasn't experienced those so she kind of feels like she has no room to talk about them!]

The world at large had that tournament I mentioned every four years, which sparked a lot of combat. In between the times, they'd all have to train, and the races would mingle and fight each other, or the local dukes would try to steal territory from each other.

Territorial disputes are not uncommon between the humans, as far as I know. My own people tend to keep to ourselves. It was only in the past few years, during our most recent war, that we allowed ourselves to mingle freely with the other races again.

We cut ourselves off after a band of humans tried to enslave us long ago. The elders have since blamed all humankind and sealed us off for the most part, going so far as to even blame half elves for it.

It was so long ago that I wish they would stop. There's no need to judge a while based on a bad few. Why not rate them based on their merits and deeds?

It can take some a very long time to forget old grudges. The Quel'dorei have been battling the trolls for land for centuries. Things like this do not simply change overnight.

But you do seem to have a good head on your shoulders. If more of your people were like you, truly you would be able to change their ways.

As do you, Lady Alleria. But those I speak of are far older than even me and too set in their ways to change their minds. I can only hope those I train take over and fix what broken laws the old have had going so long.

That's an admirable goal. I hope you succeed.
