Upon Eric's last thundered sentence, the crowd struck dead quiet and even started giving harsh looks, it's fair to say that they are portraying an upset cumulative image.
For a second, Eric thought that they'll finally turn on him! These people are isolated from society but they aren't necessarily dumb. They can link it all together, first a random stranger appears out of nowhere and right after he mentions the boots of Kashentis... It's down right suspicious.
But thankfully, that old man who seems to speak for all of the tribe, breaks the mentally consuming silence. "Accursed Demons!"
At that exact second, Eric thought that such hate is directed towards the golden blood himself, but thankfully the old man extended his curses. "They've been attacking us for years, took our little kids even!"
