Silvertip Mountain New Places

Rain explained the situation and FitzDutiful nodded. She bowed her head to show the respect. He let her keep that for a moment, almost spitefully, as he watched her knight. He was willing to risk the encounter now that he knew one of them was being respectful as it wasn't going to be a two-against-one fight. The "knight" had closed his eyes but showed no signs of respect. FitzDutiful's growling had stopped and now he addressed Rain personally.

"Thank you for your explanation. I would have not expected any respect save that you did come and seek us out. I thank you for the respect." he made it clear in his tone that she no longer had to keep her head bowed if she didn't wish to. "Your knight, however, doesn't follow your example. I understand he is here for your protection but you are not in danger from me. I respectfully request he go over there where he can still see you but be less of a threat to me if he refuses to follow etiquette and manners."

FitzDutiful gestured with his head to the area he meant. It was such a distance that their words would be hard to grasp if the wind blew the wrong way but the line of sight was clear with no interruption. A strong wolf could make that distance in only a few leaps and bounds, he didn't doubt the knight could do that. It was enough distance for FitzDutiful to flee if things turned sour, but not enough that if he attacked first he would get away. Even if Nishu was to pay respect now FitzDutiful wouldn't continue a conversation with the danger this close. He was no longer welcome at Silvertip's borders.
