"Well, now that I'll be allied with one of your subordinate clans, perhaps we can actually come to know each other, and not just professionally," suggested Warak. "After the Mortal Championship, I'll arrange a visit along with my wives."
"We'll gladly accept your visit," replied Treeda. "I and Uutrai will prepare things properly, so feel free to stay as long as you'd like."
"I'm glad. And, while we visit, we'll be sure to meet with these feisty apes as well."
Hearing that, Treeda still felt a need to ask, "But… Warak, are you sure about this?"
"Yes. Absolutely sure," stated Warak, unflinching.
"But… It's one thing to ignore the Rule of Equality," Treeda sighed. "At most, you'll pay a fine or face some sort of consequence that's not too hard to bear, disregarding what the quadrant would do to the weaker clan. But to do so with apes? … I'm not saying the Iron-body Clan isn't worth making an ally, but they don't know the rule regarding their kind."
